Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits the calendar is a struggle for his players.

Klopp says his squad is still adjusting to the Thursday night Europa League.

Ahead of Sunday's clash with Nottingham Forest, he stated: "The Thursday-Sunday is not great, but it's something we know for long enough and that's fine. We are training in between, the boys who didn't play [against Toulouse] will have a proper session tomorrow so that's good.

"If we play always the same team like maybe we did in the past in the Champions League then there is no training at all, it's just recover and go again.

"Because we don't have too many injuries it is still ok in the moment and hopefully it stays like that. It means a lot of players who didn't play [against Toulouse] will start on Sunday.

"This rhythm is the rhythm we have this year and we should get used to it sooner rather than later. A Premier League season with European football and all the cup competitions is an intense season, we never had a problem with that. As long as you can have a specific amount of recovery time we are ready again."
