Why Jurgen Klopp seriously considering dropping Xhedran Shaqiri against Red Star Belgrade

On Monday Liverpool will travel to Serbia to take on Red Star Belgrade in the Cheampions League and Jurgen Klopp is seriously considering dropping Xhedran Shaqiri. Shaqiri was born in Kosova and Serbia do not recognize Kosova as an independent country with Shaqiri’s actions have drawn a hostile reaction from Red Star fans. Red Star supporters were banned from Anfield in the reverse fixture last month, but Shaqiri was still booed by rogue fans inside the stadium whenever he touched the ball. According to the Telegraph Klopp is leaning towards dropping Shaqiri from the squad to avoid the game becoming a political spectacle. ‘I just go there to play a football game,’ Shaqiri said over the weekend. ‘It is not about politics it is about football. I worry about nothing and go to play. I had this already at the World Cup so I know I can handle this no problem.’ Shaqiri has made an impressive start to the season and he will be disappointed to be dropped by Klopp.
