The Merseysiders are in need of players in the defence areas as injury has claimed Joe Gomez and Joel Matip putting them on the sidelines till the New Year.

The Reds will be with be without their two centre backs for the next five games during the festive period which involves two big matches against Arsenal and Manchester City.

For their upcoming fixtures Jurgen Klopp’s side will have to rely on their ever strong centre backs Virgil van Dijk and Croatian Dejan Lovren, which automatically leaves them with no defenders left on the bench, should injury strike again.

The Croatian have been sidelined due to injury for 38 games, which actually caused a selection problem for Klopp in his team and Lovren has missed few games this season as a result of a pelvic injury and suffering a concussion.

The German manager now backed his claims that his club has no intentions of splashing the cash during the winter transfer window, just because they won’t be able to sign the kind of quality player they seek to challenge.

Klopp speaking, having been asked about his plans for January, he said via Express: “I would say no but I don’t know exactly what will happen until the transfer window closes.

“Could we get somebody just for January with the quality we need? I am not sure that is possible.”
