MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp will go into Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against AS Roma without his long-term assistant Zeljko Buvac who will be absent from his role until the end of the season.

The Premier League club said Buvac remained a Liverpool employee but is spending time away from the first team for personal reasons.
