The German manager said of Bajcetic that he is working to get fit again, but has not yet been given the green light by doctors to train normally. "Nobody is holding him back, so there must be a good reason why he hasn't been cleared," Klopp added.

On the youngsters and their role in the final: "They don't have to prove anything. Sunday's was one of the best football stories ever. Our boys play young football, they are inexperienced but they have a lot of talent. There is no pressure, they have to enjoy what they do. When you are 35 years old, you have to play like a kid. We have to ignore the losses as much as we can and be a tough team to beat.

“Ryan’s not available. It’s a ligament injury…could’ve been much worse but bad enough to be ruled out for this game & the next game. We’ll see", were Jurgen Klopp's words on the Dutch midfielder's injury.

Physio Scout | Football Injury Analysis en X: "Ryan Gravenberch stretchered off after contact to his left ankle. Inversion seen here, hopefully just a lateral ankle sprain (ligament).
