At a press conference ahead of the Tottenham game, Jurgen Klopp was asked about a spike in injuries in the weeks before the World Cup.
As someone who has been slamming the schedule for ages, the Liverpool boss knew what to say there.
"I hate this subject. These problems were so clear and nobody mentioned it for one time until 3-4 weeks before the World Cup," the boss said, as quoted by ESPN.
"This specific problem where players are injured in a season and can't play in the World Cup is not new. After a long season, it happens everywhere in the world but now, we're starting the World Cup a week after the last [league] game.
"Nobody cares about us and how we deal with it. Should I ask players before the Southampton and Derby games: 'Really, do you want to play?'
"We are all guilty for letting it happen in the first place and now we have the situation and have to go along with it. For the players who get injured and cannot play [the World Cup] is a disaster but how can we change that?"
Plenty of high-profile players, including Liverpool's Diogo Jota, are missing the competition that was the reason for such a packed schedule in the last couple of months.
