With their upcoming Premier League clash with Chelsea postponed, Liverpool will spend 17 days without playing, while there is also news of yet another new injury problem.
Trip to Chelsea canceled
Liverpool’s next clash with Chelsea was postponed due to the queen’s state funeral, leaving a 17-day gap between games.
This afternoon, the Premier League confirmed that Chelsea vs Liverpool, Man United vs Leeds and Brighton vs Crystal Palace were cancelled.
It means four weeks will have passed between Liverpool’s most recent league clash against Everton and their next scheduled game with Brighton on October 1.
A state funeral will be held in London on September 19 following the Queen’s passing last week, with the landing date a day before Liverpool visits Stamford Bridge.
New dates will need to be found for the Wolves and Chelsea fixtures, with the next available slots on the calendar coming in January and February.
It’s a chaotic situation that could at least have been avoided over the weekend that just ended, with the match roster that could have taken place with pre-match tributes to the Queen.
That will be the case when Liverpool host Ajax on Tuesday, as Klopp confirmed in his pre-match press conference.

Little choice tonight, unless you fancy an Empoli vs. Rome in Serie A.
Tuesday will be the last time we get to see the Reds this month, and don’t forget the U-19 Youth League clash at 4pm
