Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic says a return to Hertha Berlin was made on the recommendation of manager Jurgen Klopp.

Grujic returned to Hertha Berlin for a second season of Bundesliga football on the advice of Klopp.

I spent a few days in Liverpool for medical tests at the end of the season," Grujic told Bild. We sat down together and talked about my plans.

I have a contract with Liverpool until 2023, but we had a similar view: I was only able to call on 50 per cent of my abilities at Hertha. Niggling injuries set me back.

He thought, and I agreed, it would be better for my development to spend another year in the Bundesliga."
