Liverpool hit by sickness bug

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool's players have been suffering with illness ahead of their Premier League trip to Manchester City.

Speaking at Friday afternoon's press conference, Klopp was divulging the fitness status of several of his squad when he said that players had suffered with "stomach bugs" during the international break, but thankfully they had cleared up ahead of the game at the Etihad Stadium.

Discussing midfielders Naby Keita and Thiago Alcantara, he said: "Naby is out. He came back with a muscle injury from the national team. We will see how long it takes.

"Thiago is in a good way, but is not part of team training yet. He will probably be part of next week's training. Rhys Williams has a little bit of something. We had stomach bugs here and there, but that stopped two days ago."
