Jurgen Klopp has told fans they can help speed up football’s return by following the advice to stay at home.

Klopp says football and Liverpool’s title challenge are unimportant while the world battles against the coronavirus.

Football is on hold until April 30 at least and the Reds boss claims it can only restart if everyone follows the Government’s advice to remain safe indoors.

“We said it now often enough, and I think everybody knows, football is not the most important thing in the world,” said Klopp. “100 per cent not.

“In this moment it’s clear what is. But the only way to get football back as soon as possible, if that’s what the people want, the more disciplined we are now the earlier we will get, piece by piece by piece, our life back.

“That’s how it is. There is no other solution in the moment. We have to be disciplined by ourselves, we have to keep the distance to other people.

“We can still do some things, not a lot, but we have to just calm down a little bit with things.
