Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp again raised their busy schedule today.
Klopp has been a vocal critic of the jam-packed calendar and has already seen numerous first-team stars succumb to injury.
In particular, Klopp has lamented his side having to play on Wednesday night in the Champions League and in the lunchtime Premier League game on Saturday.
They will have to do so this week as the Reds travel to Brighton less than 72 hours after their 2-0 defeat to Atalanta.
"My thoughts about this are clear. It's not the time to think about it now. I have to prepare for it," Klopp said.
"[It] Looks like until end of year it is only us [playing Wednesday and Saturday]. Whatever I say doesn't help, so I stop talking. It's just a waste of time.
"The last thing I want is to create a headline but you say I've given up. I speak in a general way. A general problem.
"In this moment we play in 25 hours and I have to prepare a team. Wednesday, Saturday 12:30, you have to ask other people why they do that. I don't have the answer."
