Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool are in 'good shape' ahead of new Premier League season but keeps quiet on future of Philippe Coutinho

Jurgen Klopp has described Liverpool as being 'in a good shape' ahead of the new season - while keeping quiet about Philippe Coutinho's future.

Speaking on Wednesday as the club announced Western Union as their shirt sleeve sponsor, Klopp gave an upbeat summary of how he was feeling about preparations for the new campaign.

But he did not make any specific reference to Coutinho, the Reds playmaker who continues to be linked with Barcelona, and exited the media event before it was opened up for questions.
