Liverpool's "serious" problem opens door for Jurgen Klopp to complete transfer

The "serious" injury that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered against Crystal Palace has opened the door for Jurgen Klopp to boost his midfield options.

The Liverpool star is set for an extended period on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring problem against Palace a fortnight ago. He will now miss at least the first few weeks of the season after Klopp confirmed it will "take longer" for the midfielder to recover.

“With Oxlade it will take longer. It’s a serious hamstring injury and it will take longer. But it’s a hamstring, and we all hate this word, we hate the injury but anyway it happens from time to time and now Ox was the one,” Klopp said ahead of Saturday's Community Shield clash with Manchester City.
