Liverpool boss Klopp: Good not having any contact with players

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is confident his players will be refreshed facing Bournemouth later today.

The Reds return after a mini break this past week.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Klopp said: "It was good, funnily enough on the way back half the team were on the same plane.

"I had no contact with them for four days, I only saw Pep [Lijnders] as we played padel but besides that, I had no contact with any of them.

"You don't want to have a four-week break or something like that in the middle of the season but after a very intense period, having these few days was very important. Now we're back and ready to go again.
