It’s been a while since Liverpool have been hit with such a volume of injury concerns in a short period of time and Jurgen Klopp could have spent an hour talking about his stricken players.
The 56-year-old was asked to provide updates on “the three boys who picked up problems against Brentford” to which the boss replied, in a quizzical tone: “three boys?”
It seemed to rather worryingly suggest the figure is higher than three, with updates provided on Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota – there may well be more.
Given rumours in Egypt of Mo Salah ‘repeating’ his hamstring injury and Darwin Nunez going off at half-time against Brentford – many fans would have appreciated news on the duo and these two words from the German won’t ease many worries.
