Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Liverpool should "not close the door completely" on the idea of a deadline day transfer as the Reds need for another midfielder grows.
Club captain Jordan Henderson picked up a hamstring injury during Liverpool's dramatic, last-gasp 2-1 home win over Newcastle when the Reds were already staring down the barrel of a midfield injury crisis. The opening exchanges of Liverpool's season have been blighted by a number of knocks to key players at a crucial time.
Despite the season only being five games old, midfielders Curtis Jones, Naby Keita, Thiago and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all spent time on the treatment table already this term. Henderson is the latest to join that list after he was withdrawn against the Magpies 20 minutes before full-time.
