Seriously guys, the game is barely 24 hours away . The fourth game of the group stage and it’s already the deadest of the dead rubbers, that’s the state of the much hyped Group of Death. . While Klopp (perhaps a bit nudged by those suits from FSG) would have wanted to field a full-strength team, the spate of injuries will undoubtedly force his hands.

I know it’s a £2.5 million game but our squad is in tatters with injuries so few to no risks should be taken with first choice players. Not even sure about risking Ox. Real shame that Kaide Gordon isn’t eligible.
I don’t think it is accurate to say the squad is in tatters. Yes, as of this weekend just gone we have 9 players unavailable through injury or illness, but at least three of them are likely to return to training this week (Origi, Keita, Milner) and of the others Gomez isn’t being missed at the moment because all of our other CBs are fit. Curtis and Robbo should be back soon, and Jota maybe too if his knock isn’t too serious (he played for 15 minutes after getting it so fingers crossed its OK).
