The English club has not commented on the death threat, although Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp defended Dejan Lovren.
"Surely it hasn't been the best week for Dejan, but this is just football. We are not a better or worse person because of a mistake in a match. When I think of Dejan, I find more positive things than negative ones." - AFP
