Klopp and Liverpool first team to miss Shrewsbury FA Cup replay

The Reds boss will send Under-23 coach Neil Critchley to Anfield in his stead in order to respect the Premier League's winter break

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he will send an under-23 team to play the FA Cup fourth round replay against Shrewsbury Town.

The Reds seemed likely to enjoy a comfortable afternoon at the New Meadow on Sunday as they lined up against League One opposition.

But despite leading 2-0 with less than a half-hour to play thanks to Curtis Jones' goal and Donald Love putting through his own net, they could not hold on for victory.
