| Allardyce and Klopp has clashed on a few occasions |
The pair have clashed in recent weeks after the Sunderland boss accused his managerial counterpart of being a “soft German”.
But Allardyce has clarified his comments on talkSport yesterday, saying he had no intention of winding up Klopp.
"If Jurgen is listening, I didn't mean to upset you or criticise your club in any way," Allardyce said.
“I was just giving what I see could be one of the reasons why we get injuries.
"It was a question that Alan asked me, I answered it and never expected it to bring the headlines it's brought.
"I am very wary about the amount of work we do in the week now, in the hope that our players have enough energy to do the running in this period of time to try and get a result. We are all suffering because of it.
"I'll probably suffer some injuries now, by the end of next week, when we are playing three games in a short period of time.
"I was just trying to say he hasn't experienced this level of football before and maybe that might be one of the causes.
"I had no intentions of trying to wind him up or any such. Alan [Brazil] asked me to talk about Sunderland. He threw the question in at the end and maybe I should have said it's not for me to answer, it's for Jurgen."
