James Milner absent against Tottenham

Released following a shock to the head during Liverpool’s victory against Naples (2-0) in the Champions League, James Milner will not be traveling from the Reds to Tottenham this Sunday (5:30 p.m.), announced Jürgen Klopp at a press conference. “When you’re on concussion protocol, you’re not available for the next game because you have to go through different stages. He is fine. He is available for non-contact training on Monday and full training on Tuesday”explained the German coach.

An absence which will deprive or, rather, postpone the 600th appearance of the 36-year-old English midfielder in the Premier League. As for Jordan Henderson, uncertain, Klopp wanted to reassure on the state of his other midfielder: “He trained quite normally yesterday, so he should be fine. He had a little thing but serious enough not to be involved in the last game. »
