Liverpool's first team will miss FA Cup replay
LFC manager Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool's first team will miss FA Cup replay v Shrewsbury
"I said to the boys already two weeks ago that we will have a winter break, which means we will not be there," said Klopp.
"You cannot deal with us like nobody cares about it. I know that it's not very popular but that's the way I see it.
"The Premier League asked us to respect the winter break. That's what we do. If the FA doesn't respect that, then we cannot change it. We will not be there."
Klopp said it "will be the kids who play" and also confirmed that reserve coach Neil Critchley, who took charge of the Carabao Cup quarter-final loss to Aston Villa in December while the first team were playing the World Club Cup, will again be in the dugout.
"We have to respect the players' welfare. They need a rest. They need a mental rest, a physical rest, and that's what the winter break is all about," said Klopp.
"We had to make these decisions beforehand because these boys have families."
