For the defensive disaster against Saint Gilloise, the two zero-cost defenders Klopp wants now

Liverpool had a very difficult game on Thursday in the Europa League group stage finale in Belgium against Saint Gilloise as they struggled defensively in the first half and allowed two goals in the second half, with youth defender Jarrel Quansah scoring the only goal of the game. This situation would accelerate the arrival of new defenders to the team.

German coach Jürgen Klopp put out a completely alternative line-up for this game in which Liverpool had no interest as they are already assured of top spot in the group. He fielded a number of youngsters in defence, especially Connor Bradley and Luke Chambers, who struggled in the first 45 minutes, while Frenchman Ibrahima Konaté was not at his best.

With the winter transfer window fast approaching and the injury to Cameroon's Joel Matip, it is a fact that Liverpool will be looking for new defenders and with this defensive disaster in Belgium there are two options who would arrive at zero cost to the team and who would become an important option for German coach Jurgen Klopp and who could report to the team as soon as tomorrow.

<strong>Welcome</strong>

These two players are Nathan Phillips and Rhys Williams who went out on loan to Scottish football but with the need for more experienced players in defence it seems that they will return to Anfield and will be put under the orders of Jurgen Klopp even if the team has to bring forward the end of the loan in order for them to report as soon as possible.
