Jurgen Klopp was understandably deflated following the defeat to Nottingham Forest but he did have some positive news, in that there is a relatively large break ahead of our next game.

Our boss went on to explain that we should also expect up to three players to return to fitness in time for the Champions League game too and that can only be positive news.
