Few weeks my arse. Double figures now for players unavailable, this is a fucking joke. Every month we get a new injury, and just as 1 is on his way back, someone new picks up a fresh one.
What happened?
Pep L said;
Trent hyperextended his knee during the last game.
"So he has a little tear in the lateral ligament of his knee and he will need time to recover. He had a scan and he will be out for a few weeks, so letās see after that.
"He will get some rest and then hopefully he can come back to where he was. Because this guy was decisive in all the games and was the one who created constantly for us from deep and gave the team a high level of flexibility. We will really miss him.
Three weeks so might be back for Chelsea.
Will miss Fulham, Bournemouth, Fulham, FA Cup.
Time for Bradley to shine and a lot of responsibility on Mac to distribute the ball from the middle

That is a hell of a list of players unavailable.
To think weāve only just got Mac and Diogo back as well. Ibou Gomez and Jones are gonna now have to play every game for the next 5-6 gamesā¦yeah, I can see how this one ends.
Ligament tear doesnāt sound good. 3 weeks might be a bit optimistic but fingers crossed. He is such an important player with how we are attacking, Klopp is going to have to pull rabbits out of his hat with so many players unavailable.
Just when we were really starting to roll too.

Im taking silver linings from this.
Itās not a bad injury. These arent, in the big picture, key games. What this means is one of our most important players gets to take a bit of a rest through the heavy winter period without missing (any?) many really important games and comes back in late Jan rested and invigorated ready to drive us through to the end of the season.

That is actually a very good starting team. One defender still missing, and obviously a goalie.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! 
@moderators can I petition for a ban for both @Hope.in.your.heart and @Mascot please.
This news is really a kick in the nuts, but could be much worse. Not the worst period to miss. The club need to be patient with him and make sure he is available for the sprint to the end!
if he was going to pick a good time for a holiday, in the Maldivesā¦
Enjoy your two weeks in the sun, lad. a little vitamin D to heal that knee up.

Yeah Adrian is available
When LFC say 3 weeks its normally 6 or in most casesā¦6 months.
Its not just trent though, we are losing 1 player a week through injury plus Mo and Endo
Not the worst period to miss but key games are Bournemouth and Chelsea.
I think both Bradley and Beck need to be used. If that means Beck can only go back to Dundee so be it, get on the blower and smooth things over I donāt want to use Gomez to much.
Hear me outā¦ā¦ā¦Curtis Jones as replacement ā¦ā¦ā¦he could invert from right back well
Iād have no worries about playing Curtis at full back. But it leaves a hole in midfield. We only gave four fit ones to play three positions. Move Curtis and weāre down to Mac Allister, Grav, and Elliot.

He actually played there once in the cup v Leicester if Iām not mistaken.
Itās an option but options behind Bradley and Gomez.
