Jayden Danns made the squad for the Merseyside derby on Wednesday but was not brought on, despite Darwin Nunez struggling in front of goal.
Jurgen Klopp explained his decision: I know we had Dannsy on the bench, but we didn’t know we had to bring him in [to the squad] because of the two situations – with Diogo [Jota] we only learned two days ago [about his injury] and with Cody [Gakpo, partner going into labour] actually today really.
"So, that’s now not a game for an 18-year-old boy and Tarkowski and Branthwaite kill you in these situations and it doesn’t help. So, a lot of things came together [and] it’s not great timing, I admit that."
