Jurgen Klopp insists the Government were right to sanction Roman Abramovich and believes English football should scrutinise how clubs are funded by owners.
Liverpool's manager has sympathy for the predicament in which Chelsea's employees, headed by Thomas Tuchel, find themselves but is adamant the Government could only take one course of action.
'I feel for Thomas and the players,' said Klopp. 'Chelsea employees are not responsible but one man is responsible, Vladimir Putin. I don't know about Abramovich but it's clear he's pretty close to Putin and I think the British Government is right.
