JURGEN KLOPP has been left without TEN Liverpool stars ahead of crunch games against Sparta Prague and Manchester City.
The Reds first take on Sparta in the first leg of tonight’s Europa League last-16 tie.

“Now, let’s see how long we can use him. That’s how it is with him and with others as well.”
