Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has played down suggestions that his team need a major rebuild I the summer.
Instead, he claims that the problem is that the squad this season has been so hit by injuries, that players have had little chance to play together. For the German then, it is a case of making some minor readjustments.
Captain Jordan Henderson is the latest player to join their extensive injury list. He has been ruled out until April after undergoing an operation to deal with the groin injury he picked up in the home defeat to Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool’s win 2 – 0 away at Sheffield United on Sunday night helped to address their recent slide in the Premier League, although they still face a major struggle to make the top four, to ensure Champions League qualification for next season.
They have one foot in the quarter-finals of this year’s competition, having won the away leg of their last 16 tie against RB Leipzig 2 – 0.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
