Jurgen Klopp admits “it was a real shock” for Liverpool’s players to hear Sir Kenny Dalglish had tested positive for coronavirus.
And the Reds chief believes that the Anfield hero’s diagnosis hit home to his stars how serious the Covid-19 pandemic has become.
Kop legend Dalglish is now resting at home after being discharged from hospital on Sunday. The 69-year-old was admitted to hospital last Wednesday for treatment on gallstones.
Despite not showing any symptoms, he underwent a routine coronavirus test and ultimately returned a positive diagnosis. Dalglish has since hailed the hospital workers who treated him as "absolutely brilliant".
