Jurgen Klopp has warned his Liverpool stars that majority of his players will need to get used to the fact that somebody else will be rotated into the team instead of them on a game-by-game basis.
Klopp made three changes to his side for Saturday’s 2-1 victory at Southampton, from the team deployed in the Super Cup final in midweek, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Georginio Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino coming in for Joe Gomez, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
“
No football player should play 50 or 60 games a season, especially not in these intense positions,” said Klopp after the game at St Mary's, via The Telegraph .
“Goalie and a centre-half maybe do it but all the rest: give whatever you have and next game maybe somebody else will do the job. That’s the plan, but we can only do that if they all stay fit.”
