Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says their injury problems have brought the players closer together.

Klopp was speaking ahead of their FA Cup quarterfinal against Manchester United.

“Injuries have affected us a lot but two things [have helped us]; the dressing room culture and the structure we have set on the pitch," Klopp said.

"We have developed a lot during the season - we don't change the way we play, the boys know what they have to do when they come on and when they don't play, they train at least in the same way, so if they do step onto the pitch, they know what they have to do.

"It is not always, 'something else, something else'. Everything around changed but we didn't, we just played the way we wanted to play and that helped a lot.

"We did that from the first day of the season and that made a real difference - we really found a good way to play with this group of players and it was obviously right for the whole squad and that is why we've been pretty stable."
