Richards Keys has joked about Liverpool's top fours hopes could unravel after throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark announced he will leave at the end of the season.

It was mutually decided Gronnemark would step away from his role at the AXA Training Centre as Liverpool look to use their own in-house throw-in coaches from next campaign.

The Dane started working with Klopp's squad in 2018 and helped Liverpool win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup during his time at Anfield.

It didn't take Keys long to make a mockery of the coaches departure from the Reds: "Oh no. What a blow at such a critical time of the season," the former Sky presenter wrote on Twitter. "You've got to fancy United for fourth now."
