With Trent Alexander-Arnold out, Williams was a potential to start at right-back v Leicester, but this news might rule him out of the clash.
If that’s the case, then we can only see James Milner playing in the position – as Jurgen Klopp has basically no other options.
This will though mean he won’t be present in midfield – which means Gini Wijnaldum, Naby Keita and presumably Curtis Jones could make up a central three – assuming Jordan Henderson and Thiago won’t make it.
If Fabinho can play, he’ll be used as a centre-back – although the Brazilian still hasn’t returned to full training.
Xherdan Shaqiri is also an option if Klopp decides to play four up top.
Liverpool have 2 sets of back lines plus 3 midfielders who can do a job at the back.
1st choice: TAA, Gomez, Van dyk, Robbo,
2nd choice: Neco Williams, Ryh Williams, nat Phillips, Tasimikas.
Plus let’s not forget Matip.
Additional players: Millie, Fabinho, Hendo.
