Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, spoke about his team’s injury crisis. He mentioned that he needs “miracles” to get his players back in time to help the team’s chances of winning the quadruple. Despite a host of injuries, Liverpool managed to beat Chelsea 1-0 in the Carabao Cup final last weekend. However, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch was injured in the first half of that game, adding to their mounting fitness crisis.
As a result, Gravenberch will miss at least two matches, including Wednesday’s FA Cup fifth round tie against Southampton at Anfield. Additionally, Wataru Endo is also a doubt for the visit of the Championship promotion chasers, as he was seen leaving Wembley on crutches and wearing a protective boot. Klopp is currently without 13 first-team players, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Klopp stated to reporters on Tuesday “We need miracles with a few players.
I don’t want to rule them out for too long. But it is touch and go with many players who were not available for the final: Darwin, Mo, Dom – we have to see what they can do (on Tuesday). In an ideal world, you’d think about these kinds of things, but we don’t live in an ideal world so we will see when the players arrive and they get checked.”
