Jurgen Klopp can only do two things as Liverpool hit by biggest injury blow yet
If Pep Lijnders insists that "no-one is irreplaceable" at Liverpool, it is still entirely fair to suggest that some are easier to replace than others.
Jurgen Klopp has rarely attempted to bemoan injury problems during his time as Reds boss, with the manager keen to find solutions over excuses. But even he must be privately muttering about the bad luck he has encountered on the fitness front since the start of December.
With arguably his best midfielder in Thiago Alcantara now into his 11th month since his most recent start and Klopp unable to give valuable development minutes to players like Conor Bradley and Stefan Bajcetic in the Europa League or domestic cups ties, the German has also been unable to call upon Andy Robertson since October through a shoulder injury picked up on international duty.
The return of Premier League football from its November international break has seen Liverpool besieged by further problems that are now starting to really pile up at the turn of 2024. Alisson Becker, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have all missed games through injury in recent weeks while Kostas Tsimikas, deputising for Robertson, found himself with a broken collarbone just before Christmas and Joel Matip's fine season was cut short at the start of December against Fulham.
