Jürgen Klopp admitted to hospital

Jürgen Klopp was admitted to hospital today after feeling unwell overnight.

The Liverpool manager reported to Melwood as normal this morning but the club’s medical team insisted that he must go to hospital to be examined further. He subsequently underwent a number of tests after admitting himself to hospital and he is expected to be released later today with follow-up appointments expected in due course.

A statement on the club’s official website said: ‘Jürgen Klopp has attended a hospital appointment today as a precautionary measure, after feeling ill.

‘He is being assessed by doctors and will be absent from training on Wednesday as a result.

‘There are currently no plans for Jürgen to remain in hospital beyond his appointment and he will therefore return home this evening; however, he may require further check-ups in the coming days.

‘The club urges that the privacy of Jürgen, his family and other patients is respected while attending hospital visits.’

During the international break the 50-year-old visited South Africa to attend a charity event.

It’s not known if Klopp, who missed a home game against Sunderland back in February 2016 after undergoing an emergency appendicitis operation, will be back at work tomorrow.
