• Japanese player not eligible for meeting with Sheffield United• ‘We are thinking about putting him in the squad,’ says KloppJürgen Klopp is considering introducing the new
Liverpool signing Takumi Minamino in the FA Cup third‑round tie at home against Everton on Sunday, but the Anfield manager believes the
Japan international needs time to adapt.
The £7.25m arrival from Red Bull Salzburg is not eligible for the
Premier League match against Sheffield United at Anfield on Thursday. But it seems likely he will be in contention for the Merseyside derby on Sunday. “This time we are not allowed, but from the next moment on we are thinking about putting him in the squad,” Klopp said.
