Jurgen Klopp is left in no man’s land with recent new of Joe Gomez’s serious knee injury delivering a final blow to the Liverpool FC boss’s injury-depleted defensive squad depth and the German will now be induced to dip into the transfer market in January to bring in fresh blood, reports the Mirror.
With Liverpool FC competing across all fronts in the Premier League as well as in the Champions League, January’s winter transfer window could not have come at a better time for Klopp, who will surely be pondering over making a move for a new centre-back in the market.
Both Gomez and Virgil van Dijk are speculated to be long-term injury absentees for Klopp’s side and could possibly miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season, in what would be crushing news to Liverpool FC fans worldwide.
Gomez joins fellow defenders Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander Arnold, and Fabinho, on the recovery table for the Reds, leaving Jurgen Klopp with only Cameroon ace Joel Matip as the sole senior centre-back option in full fitness at the Merseyside club.
Matip himself has been one of the most injury-prone players in the Liverpool FC squad since the last couple of years, which would make Klopp’s decision of buying a new centre half, even more, easier, reports suggest.
