Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp missed first-team training Wednesday after the German was admitted to hospital after falling ill.

In a statement Wednesday, the Reds added: "There are currently no plans for Jurgen to remain in hospital beyond his appointment and he will therefore return home this evening; however, he may require further check-ups in the coming days."

Liverpool's statement didn't expand any further on Klopp's condition, only saying that the decision to go to the hospital was a "precautionary measure."

Sky Sports reports that Klopp is due to be released from hospital Wednesday evening ahead of Liverpool's visit Saturday from Southampton.
