They'll literally die if they're at the stadium during the match, obviously. Elite athletes getting paid millions for their skills aren't expected to show top-tier stamina or anything, that's not a part of football at all. And obviously Klopp can't attend either because he's so tired of having to stand at the touchline. Really, they should half the number of matches they play in the league too. I bet poor Mo Salah is crying himself to sleep having to bear the prospect of coming on as a sub against League One opposition again. So sad, so cruel, that the FA would shorten their rest by 2 days.

Ridiculous to claim that this is about the "health and wellbeing" when he could have played a youth side and at least showed up to the match to manage his team. It's downright insulting to the competition and to the opposition, I wasn't expecting Liverpool to play a full-strength side but Klopp refusing to even be there to manage his side in the biggest cup competition in England is piss poor. Smacks of arrogance.
