Liverpool's Klopp to miss Sunderland game due to illness

LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp will not be at his team's Premier League game against Sunderland at Anfield on Saturday after suffering suspected appendicitis, the club said.

The 48-year-old German took charge of Liverpool in October.

"First-team duties will be overseen by the remaining members of the coaching staff, including Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz, Pepijn Lijnders and John Achterberg," Liverpool said in a statement on their website (www.liverpoolfc.com).
