Jurgen Klopp says he was\u00a0forced to rotate Liverpool’s\u00a0squad\u00a0in their FA Cup third-round game against Wolves due to a virus ruling a number of regular first-team players out.<\/p>\n

The Reds suffered a 2-1 defeat, causing them to crash out of the competition, after Klopp had made nine changes to the side that took on Manchester City at the Etihad four days before.<\/p>\n

They were also dealt a major blow in the first few minutes when Dejan Lovren went down with a hamstring problem, meaning Ki-Jana Hoever came on to become Liverpool’s youngest ever FA Cup player.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters following the defeat, Klopp said: “After the Man City game, we had immediately a few players who were ill, who showed [a] soar throat and what you can have in this period of the year. So\u00a0they were not even in after the City game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Pretty much all the players who were not here today had flu problems – apart from Ali [Alisson]. And so we had late changes. Like yesterday Adam [Lallana] was in our plans, Hendo [Jordan Henderson] was in our plans and Dejan was not in our plans, he should only have been on the bench. It happens, what happened. That doesn’t help a lot and we have to change again.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to control the game because we were completely new, especially defensively completely new, so it makes\u00a0sense to keep the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are not here to be the new world record holder for the world’s youngest team. It’s nice, the boys train with us, the boys are around – that is why they train with us because we think they’re good enough.”<\/p>\n

As well as a debut for Hoever, Klopp gave starts to youngsters Curtis Jones and Rafael Camacho, while Daniel Sturridge, Alberto Moreno, Naby Keita and Divock Origi all lined-up at Molineux.<\/p>\n

Origi did get on the scoresheet with a 51st minute strike to level the scores, but Ruben Neves struck back to regain the lead for Wolves.<\/p>\n

Klopp will hope the missing squad-members can recover from their ilnesses in time for Liverpool’s next game at Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
