Liverpool may be forced into altering their summer stance over the next few weeks, after a pile up of injuries and Darwin Nunez' red card left Jurgen Klopp bereft of choice.
The Reds manager described last week at the AXA Training Centre as ‘cursed’, with Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino the latest in the treatment room. They joined the likes of Thiago, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the sidelines during Monday’s draw against Crystal Palace, forcing Klopp to throw on 19-year-old Fabio Carvalho in search of a game-changer.
Klopp’s absence of options on the bench at Anfield have once again called into question the club’s transfer policy, and with two-and-a-half weeks until the window shuts, Liverpool may be forced to dip back into the market. A new midfielder could be on the cards to ease any burden on teenage pair Carvalho and Harvey Elliott, while a fresh pair of legs in the front-three could rejuvenate the attack.
