(Reuters) - Liverpool are missing Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, on Africa Cup of Nations duty, but a goalless draw against 10-man Arsenal on Thursday cannot be blamed on their absence, according to manager Juergen Klopp.

Liverpool were frustrated in the League Cup semi-final first leg at Anfield with the Reds blocked by a determined Arsenal defensive display after Granit Xhaka was sent off in the 24th minute.

"The situation is clear. They are not here and they are world class players. So that's how it is. Do we miss them? Yes," Klopp told reporters ahead of Liverpool's home game against Brentford on Sunday. "It was always like this. We couldn't do that last night, we were not good enough in moments but that's the situation. Nothing to do with who's not here.Sunday's game will be Klopp's 350th in charge of Liverpool and it comes against opponents who drew 3-3 in the fixture in London last September.

"It's all good but these numbers are not important to me. But 350 is a nice one, better than 15 and out," he added.
