Although the team led in strategy by Jürgen Klopp has started with the right foot the year 2024 in the Premier League with that dramatic 4-2 win against Newcastle United, not everything that happened on the Anfield pitch was joy or good news, and unfortunately for the Reds, the injury of midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai comes at a time of vulnerability where the group will be even more reduced due to the early departure of Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo with their respective national teams.

The Reds coach knows that the injury to his Hungarian midfielder will cause him certain difficulties in his next FA Cup match against Arsenal this coming Sunday, and in addition to the absence of Dominik, Klopp will have to deal with the absence of the Japanese Endo, so the German tactician is already working to try to devise one of the best plans with which to beat the Gunners in one of the most important matches of this start of the year.

While Klopp tries to solve all this negative situation involving his midfield, Liverpool's official account on X has launched a message to Maxi Rodriguez, a great midfielder who passed through the institution some time ago and through his great soccer in the midfield is that he was able to win over a whole fan base that has taken the time to congratulate him on his birthday, having within all this party to the former Argentine footballer some wishes to see him play even more on Merseyside.

For many Reds fans there is no doubt about the great level that Maxi Rodriguez would have had in this renewed Liverpool team of 2023-2024, with many visualizing this Argentine player as one of Klopp's undisputed starters every weekend, being at the same time an experienced leader who would have given the group that balance that is needed today after the casualties that have arisen.

Klopp looks to reinvent his midfield game

Without Endo and Dominik at Klopp's disposal at the moment, the German coach will have to look for more options to be able to face Arsenal in a knockout round, with Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister being the ones chosen to fill the midfield absences, being perhaps the biggest unknown about the substitutes that would back up the work of those who will be on the pitch this coming Sunday.
