London: Adam Lallana's thigh injury is a setback for Jurgen Klopp as he seeks to strengthen Liverpool's Champions League qualification chances with win over Everton in today's Merseyside derby.

Lallana is expected to be out for a month, having suffered the injury during England's 2-0 win over Lithuania last Sunday. Liverpool sit fourth going into the weekend's fixtures, with a four-point advantage over Man United in fifth. "I was not happy that he played on Wednesday but it is not my decision and I respect 100 per cent the decisions of other managers and they have to respect my decisions, too," Klopp said. "I really think we could handle these situations better if we work together. As long as we do not work together we will have these situations all the time," Klopp said.
