Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that young forward Ben Woodburn will not be involved when Liverpool take on Watford in the Premier League this weekend.
The 18-year old Welshman played for the club’s Under-19s side on Wednesday afternoon, where they were eliminated from the UEFA Youth League on penalties against Manchester City.
Woodburn was also called up by Wales for their participation in the China Cup later this month, but has been absent from training at Melwood as he recovers from a recent illness.
Talking to Liverpool’s official website, when asked for a squad update, Klopp said;
Ben Woodburn is out, that’s pretty much all.
It’s still from when he was ill last week. He is still suffering from that, with cramps in his calf and stuff like that. That’s why we have left him out of training. That’s all.
