"I have never heard of such a young player being asked to play three games in five days [sic]." [The Guardian citing the Liverpool FC manager, Jürgen Klopp.]

Why is sic used in the above sentence? Is any mistake or oddity coming from Jürgen Klopp's
statement ?

Thank you.

Of course, playing three games in five days doesn't preclude him from having played five games in six days - so it's not necessarily inaccurate. Though he would have had to play two games on the sixth day.

So we still can't answer the OP. I suggest we'd need a link, or a copy and paste.
