KNOCK TIPS AT THE SHAQIRI EXIT
Xherdan Shaqiri appears to be one step closer to Liverpool’s exit door. Manager Jürgen Klopp confirmed that his absence from the Carabao Cup on Friday morning (AEST) was not due to injury or disciplinary reasons before pointing out that it was due to transfer negotiations.
Shaqiri should play a role in the 4-3 defeat by Arsenal due to the many rotations at the Carabao Cup games and the fact that he had performed well in the last round against Lincoln City.
Nevertheless, the Swiss winger was not in sight.
When asked why he was not selected, Klopp said: “I can and I don’t want to say anything about it. What I can say is that he is not hurt and not for disciplinary reasons.
“There is a time of the year when a manager receives information and I have to respond to it.”
