‘Accept it’ - Jurgen Klopp says if Ryan Gravenberch and Ben Doak will start for Liverpool vs LASK

Jurgen Klopp was tight-lipped when asked if he would give some of his Liverpool fringe players opportunities in the Europa League.

The Reds compete in Europe’s second-tier competition this season and begin their campaign with a clash against LASK in Group E tomorrow night in Austria (17.45 BST).

There have been suggestions that Klopp could utilise his squad in the group stage and hand rests to his key players - something he’s rarely done in the Champions League in the past.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Klopp was asked if players such as Ryan Gravenberch - signed from Bayern Munich on deadline day for £34 million - and 17-year-old Ben Doak, who penned a new long-term contract yesterday, could feature against LASK.

The Liverpool boss bluntly replied: “Absolutely no information about that. You will have to wait until tomorrow and look at the line-up. Enjoy it or don't but accept it then we go. We are here to compete not to give opportunities for nobody. Not ours and not for them.”
