Jurgen Klopp was asked to elaborate on the ear infection that ruled Thiago Alcantara out of action for Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The German explained that the Spaniard had been taken to the hospital early in the morning to analyse the issue, to no avail.
The Reds looked unable to break a low block favoured by Steve Cooper’s men at the City Ground without their classy playmaker and Darwin Nunez (kept out as a precaution).

I. Couldn’t believe the defeat
I still cannot believe how Pool win against the ‘big’ clubs but lose or draw to the lesser one’s! This is the Old Pool MO. It happens time and time again. I’ve been a staunch supporter for 63 years and it still baffles me.
