Jurgen Klopp not worried by Liverpool fixture pile-up

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists that he is not concerned about the number of matches his side are playing at the moment despite their exploits in the Europa League.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he is not worried about fatigue building in his side due to their exploits in the Europa League.

The Reds secured their third win on the bounce in all competitions following their 1-0 triumph of Rubin Kazan on Thursday, backing up their
victories over Chelsea and Bournemouth.

Klopp has insisted that he is not worried about the number of games his side are playing at the moment, but has conceded that may change around the hectic Christmas schedule.

He told reporters: "We have to play. We cannot rest. That is our situation. This has been really good. We played without Adam [Lallana], who is in unbelievable shape in this moment; we played without Phil [Coutinho], who had such a brilliant game at Chelsea. We did it without Martin Skrtel, who is in great shape.

"The two full-backs [Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno] have to run but they are getting better and better - these two guys need games. The best thing is that we have to learn. What a game Emre Can had, but he is learning and if he runs earlier he doesn't have to make those 100 metre sprints.

"For the moment, everything is okay. There are many games but the Europa League is not a problem for English teams. No winter break might be the problem. It is not a problem for me because I knew about it before. If you think we have too many matches, then stop playing at Christmas."

Liverpool face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
