Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he cannot see the benefit of stopping the Premier League over rising Covid cases but does not have a solution.

Five of the weekend's 10 Premier League fixtures have been postponed, while Klopp had three players pull out before Thursday's 3-1 win over Newcastle.

Klopp says all his players are double vaccinated and some have had boosters.

"Stopping the league is probably not the right thing but with the schedule we have to be more flexible," he said.

"So far football kept it pretty much outside with the testing regimes, the massive disciplinary things for the boys did really well, but this time it is really difficult."
