Klopp confirms Lallana’s last Liverpool game

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Adam Lallana will not play again for Liverpool.

Lallana signed a short-term extension to his Anfield contract, which had been due to expire last month, in order to feature in the final weeks of the season.

The former England international made 178 appearances for the Reds following a £25 million transfer from Southampton in summer 2014.

But Lallana is yet to feature in the Premier League champions’ match day squad during Project Restart and will be stood down for their final five games.

Several offers are currently open to the 32-year-old including a potential reunion with ex-Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers with Leicester City.

“It is clear Adam will leave the club in the summer, if the summer ever starts,” said Klopp.

“I already miss everything about him. In this moment he is still here but we will miss him.

“He is one of the most influential players on the training quality I have ever had in my life. He is an incredible professional.

“But now we have a difficult situation and I will respect Adam a lot. Everything with Adam is sorted, let me say it like this.

“He is so fit, he is training, everything is fine, but the future is his future – and if we need his help on the pitch we can get it.

“He trains 100% but as long as we don’t need him, he will just train.”
