The new wave of Covid-19 in the UK has reached directly to clubs playing in the Premier League, and therefore, two matches in the tour have already been canceled due to the high number of cases. Contest leaders are looking for ways to better control the disease, as well as boost screening and isolate those infected. For Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, clubs also need to be more transparent and help control.
The German coach said he believed the names of players who tested positive for Covid-19 should be released. Thus, the football community will be safer, knowing who has been in contact with that particular player recently. Klopp also ensured that having to travel and face other teams without this information could be dangerous.

? I don’t understand why we are no longer open. If I did, I hope I wouldn’t say I have Covid. I don’t know why these failed players didn’t reveal themselves. I’m not sure this is possible from a legal point of view. I don’t think people should hide that. Is that why I think more transparency would be helpful? Analyze the coach.
In addition, Klopp ensured that all Liverpool players were tested and with two doses of the immunizing agent. The measures are necessary so that the club does not face a new outbreak as happened to Manchester United, which was even forced to close its training center for a few days due to the high number of cases.
? I support new measures. We do tests every day and before matches too. Only when negative tests are submitted can we trade through the club. We are concerned about this, as is the whole world. Do we do everything we can? Klopp said.
Liverpool plays on Thursday (16), at Anfield, when it hosts Newcastle, at 17:00 (GMT), in the 17th round of the English Premier League. The team is currently in second place with 37 points. The leader is Manchester City, who has a game in hand and has scored 41 points so far.
