Ian Wright believes it is no surprise Liverpool are struggling to hit their usual heights with Thiago Alcantara still stuck on the sidelines.
The Spanish midfielder added to his unfortunate injury record on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, having been forced off against Fulham and now facing a minimum of four weeks out of the team. Jurgen Klopp's side found it challenging to dictate play a fortnight ago and suffered a similar issue yesterday evening at Anfield.
Fabinho's slow start to the season certainly hasn't helped matters in this department, though Harvey Elliott's first start of the campaign should offer Klopp encouragement that he has a big role to play for the first-team this term.
