Jurgen Klopp has expressed his frustration at the unavailability of certain Liverpool players throughout the season as he continues to grapple with a succession of injury problems.
And the Reds boss believes the long-standing fitness concerns are the root cause of his team's sluggish Premier League campaign so far ahead of their visit to Ajax on Wednesday night in Group A of the Champions League.
Klopp heads to the Johan Cruyff ArenA without Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Joel Matip, while Ibrahima Konate is unlikely to play a major role in the game having only returned to full training on Monday.
