Liverpool players will not be forced back to train against their will - Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has stated that none of his Liverpool players will be forced to return to training. 

The German tactician says he felt 'like a policeman in my uniform' arriving at Melwood already in full kit.

Recall that Liverpool players returned to work on Wednesday. 

Although it's was training in groups of five. 

Likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Milner, Wijnaldum were pictured in training. 

He told Sky Sports: 'It is the players' choice and that is clear. I said before the session, 'you are here on free will. Usually you sign a contract and you have to be in when I tell you, but in this case if you don't feel safe, you don't have to be here'.

'There are no restrictions, no punishment, nothing. It's their own decision and we respect that 100 per cent.

'The boys are all here, the first group of 10 players, then the next session will start, and another 10 players will be in, and then another five in the afternoon.

'The boys are fine. We would never put anybody in danger to do what we want to do. Yes, we love football, yes, it's our job, but it's not more important than our lives or the lives of other people.'

Extensive health and safety regulations meant Klopp had to report to Melwood already in his training gear on Wednesday.

And he joked: 'This morning we had to come already changed so I felt a bit like a policeman in my uniform - finally, for the right reasons again. That felt pretty special.

'Then coming to Melwood and seeing all the boys again was nice.'
