Klopp- Coutinho won't Feature against Mancity

Philippe Coutinho, who has not played for Liverpool since the beginning of this season, because of a cited injury, but played for National side in World Cup Qualifiers, which he made two substitute appearance against Ecuador and Colombia, scoring against the former.

But the Clubs manager said that the playmaker will not be featured against Manchester City.

“We have got all the numbers (on Coutinho) from the Brazilian FA — the training, the intensity of the training, stuff like that, and it was all OK. And he played twice — I think about 15 or 20 minutes,” said Klopp.
“He could have played 15, 20 minutes again in the City game, maybe longer, but I think really it makes sense (to leave him out).

“He agreed completely, so it was not as if he said ‘no, I don’t need training, I want to play’. It was a good conversation.”

Liverpool, who thumped Arsenal 4-0 in their last match before the international break, are second in the Premier League after three matches, with two wins and a draw.

Pep Guardiola’s big-spending City have the same number of points but trail Liverpool on goal difference.
