Jürgen Klopp continues to prove his quality in the Reds dugout, and the German has had to occupy his entire team, giving great rotation as injuries and expulsions have left the Boss without many options, so both the team's youth players and substitutes have had a chance to play.

The team has just got back Trent Alexander Arnold and Ibrahima Konaté but now Klopp will have to rely on his best substitutes as he will be without Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo after the last game where the first two were sent off and the Dutchman was injured after scoring the equaliser when he suffered a heavy tackle from Italian Iyenoma Udogie on Cody's ankle.

After the tackle Gakpo could still have scored the equaliser, but he came off for the second half, which left big doubts about the seriousness of his injury as the Dutchman was seen leaving the stadium wearing a brace, which would be bad news for Klopp.

Several weeks away

As per information from ThisisAnfield, injury specialist @physioscout expressed "concern over [a] sprained medial collateral ligament". So Gakpo could be out for six weeks, which would be terrible news for Liverpool, so Klopp will have a tough challenge for the future.
