Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepted “some things are more important than football” but is unsure whether the closure of stadiums across Europe will help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Klopp’s side will host Atletico Madrid in a crucial Champions League last 16, second leg on Wednesday in front of a capacity crowd of over 50,000.

No restrictions have been placed on matches played in the United Kingdom, but nearly 3,000 Atletico fans are expected to travel for the game.
