However, Jurgen Klopp expressed his disappointment in not being able to attend her funeral in Germany due to COVID-19 restrictions but he promised to hold a befitting commemoration in her honour at the right time.

The fact that I can’t be at the funeral is due to the terrible times. As soon as the circumstances allow, we will hold a wonderful commemoration that is appropriate time
