Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was coy about the omission of Jordan Henderson from their preseason clash with Karlsruhe.

It's since emerged that Liverpool have accepted a £12m offer from Al-Ettifaq for their captain.

Klopp said: “There's actually nothing to say. As long as things are not really finally decided, we don't have to talk about it. There will be a moment where we probably have to talk about it, but it's not now.

“I don't know that anything is decided, which means nothing to say in the moment. But that's even better for you because you can speculate, which is much more fun! If I say something then it's finished!

“In the end, all of these decisions are made by me. And because I respect the players a lot, it's usually (with their) consent. It was in this case, and it is all fine."
