West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic spoke about Jurgen Klopp's health on Monday (8 February) ahead of the following day's FA Cup fourth round replay with Liverpool.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Slaven Bilic, West Ham United manager:

(Asked whether pressure is driving Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to attend the game despite having his appendix removed on Saturday 6 February):

"Well, I don't think that he will be back.... because of the pressure. He will be back, if he's going to be back on the bench, he is going to be back because he is like that. And he would be back, even if they were top of the table with ten points clear. And that's why he is the leader, that's why he is Jurgen Klopp. It's not that this kind of situation force him to, to jump out of the bed and to go back in training. It's the other way round. He's Jurgen Klopp and he's (a) successful man in his job because he's like that. He likes to work. So I don't think that he's trying to, to make some positive points like.... with this kind of behaviour. No, it's for him it's natural. He wants to be back and that's why he's going it, and that's why he's, Jurgen Klopp."
