  • FA Cup: Liverpool Need Miracles – Klopp Gives Update On Injured Players

    Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has said he needs “miracles” to get his injured players back in time to boost their quadruple bid.

    The Reds defied a host of injuries to beat Chelsea 1-0 in the Carabao Cup final last weekend.

    But they lost midfielder Ryan Gravenberch in the first half of that game, adding to their mounting fitness crisis.

    Gravenberch will miss at least two matches, starting with Wednesday’s FA Cup fifth round tie against Southampton at Anfield.

    Wataru Endo is also a doubt for the visit of the Championship promotion chasers, as he was spotted leaving Wembley on crutches and wearing a protective boot.

    That leaves Klopp without 13 first team players, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai.

    “We need miracles with a few players. I don’t want to rule them out for too long,” Klopp told reporters on Tuesday.

    “But it is touch and go with a lot of players who were not available for the final: Darwin, Mo, Dom – we have to see what they can do (on Tuesday).

    “In an ideal world you’d think about this kind of thing, but we obviously don’t live in an ideal world so we will see when the players arrive and they get checked.”

    EPL: ‘I Feel Sad’ – Chris Sutton Names Three Players To Follow Klopp Out Of Liverpool

    Former Chelsea star, Chris Sutton has tipped Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson to follow manager Jurgen Klopp out of Liverpool at the end of the season.

    Klopp had last Friday announced his decision to step down as Liverpool coach after this season.

    Speaking on the development, Sutton also said he felt sad that the German is leaving Anfield at the end of the season.

    “I feel sad that he [Klopp] is leaving because he’s been such a giant,” Sutton said (via Caught Offside).

    “But it is the challenge since he’s been at Liverpool and how they have pushed Manchester City. Without Klopp, City would have just romped to absolutely everything.

    “I suppose there are also people out there who think it’s the end of an era with Klopp. Looks like Salah will move on. Would the likes of Van Dijk think well Klopp brought me into Liverpool and think about elsewhere. Just another challenge.

    “I think it will have had a massive impact on the team and they will be desperate for Klopp to leave on a high. You can’t speak for individuals like Van Dijk but maybe Robertson as well, maybe they will see that as an end of an era and move on.”
