WATCH: Jurgen Klopp: 'We are sure we did nothing wrong, Joel Matip did nothing wrong'

Liverpool have erred on the side of caution and omitted defender Joel Matip from the squad to face Plymouth in their FA Cup third round replay as the row over his eligibility rumbles on.

As the debate over his availability continues it is believed Jurgen Klopp, after taking legal advice about the potential ramifications of playing the centre-back, has decided not to risk playing him at Home Park on Wednesday.
