Liverpool boss Klopp snaps: Why ask me about coronavirus? I wear a baseball cap!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp snapped back at questions about the coronavirus after their FA Cup defeat to Chelsea.

There's been claims the Premier League could be forced to complete the season behind closed doors due to health concerns.

“What I don't like in life is for a very serious thing, a football manager's opinion is important," said Klopp..

“I really don't understand it. It's not important what famous people say. People with no knowledge like me talking about it, people with knowledge should be the ones telling people what to do.

“Not football managers. I don't understand politics, the coronavirus. Why me? I wear a baseball cap.

“I'm concerned like everyone else. I live on this planet and I want it to be safe and healthy, I wish everybody the best absolutely. But my opinion on coronavirus is not important."
