THE BIGGER PICTURE

Going into the season’s finale, Klopp already has a number of injury concerns. The Anfield team has been missing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, Ibrahima Konate, and Joel Matip, to mention a few on a lengthy list of absences in recent weeks. In the midst of a fierce competition for the Premier League championship, adding the three attacking players will only make their issues worse.

WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?

It is Klopp’s desire that his players recover well from the international break. With Liverpool and Arsenal tied for first place in the Premier League, the German manager cannot afford to lose any of his star players before the final ten games of the season.
