Jurgen Klopp reveals massive injury boost for defender ahead of Leicester clash

“There’s nothing to tell about [transfers]”, the Liverpool manager admitted.

However, he looked sharp, which is good news for the Reds, who will be without Martin Skrtel this weekend. However Martin Skrtel and James Milner are among seven absentees for the game against the Premier League leaders. It’s a few weeks, for sure – it’s really bad for us.

“Lovren though is back”.

“He trained two days in a row”. He is available for Saturday.

“Mignolet is back. He trained normally today, and he’ll train normally tomorrow”.

“[Milner has] no chance”. Now we have to wait. Nobody knows where it came from, but we have to wait one or two weeks.

“It’s not too good for us”.

Jordan Rossiter has also been added to the injury list for the Leicester game as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

In Sturridge’s case, this meant building up the England striker’s strength in the hope that he can put a nightmare spell of fitness troubles behind him.

“He felt it after five minutes in the game”.

“It is really bad for Jordan and for us too”.

Skrtel limped off in the first half of Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat at Watford on Sunday and scans have revealed the Slovakia centre-back has a torn hamstring that will keep him out until February. “I’m not the biggest friend of January window”. “Dejan was in flawless shape before he went out and now we have to see how he is, and now Martin [is out] when he was in ideal shape”.

Ahead of the game, Jurgen Klopp has been speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference this afternoon and he’s given Liverpoolfc.com a team news and injury update. Now however, he finds himself in a situation where he needs to fit another player into the backline first.

The 31-year-old has been a constant in the heart of the Reds’ defence for a long time now, but is all set to miss out on the football action during the festive period of the season, with the injury.

“I would like to be cooler but I am pretty emotional, you can see it in my face sometimes”.
