A number of Liverpool supporters are fuming after Jurgen Klopp confirmed that three more positive virus tests have emerged within his squad.

The Reds return to Premier League action on Sunday, making the trip to Chelsea for a vital meeting at Stamford Bridge.

Dropped points from both teams in midweek, coupled with Manchester City's relentless form, means that defeat for either side this weekend could effectively end their title hopes.

Liverpool are without Thiago for the match, as well as a number of other injured players, but Klopp has also confirmed [via the club's official Twitter channel] that three unnamed squad members have tested positive for the global virus, ruling them out of the action too.

It is a big blow for the Reds, who may now have the field a much-weakened starting lineup in west London.
