The Merseyside outfit have been unable to field their full squad since the start of the season

Since the 2022-2023 season kicked off in the Premier League, the Anfield team was already playing with a certain disadvantage against Fulham as they had some injured elements that complicated the strategies of coach Jurgen Klopp, aggravating this situation week by week as each time the substitutes had to make an appearance on the pitch.

The twitter account, Andrew Beasley, has been in charge for a few days of publishing about this problem that has affected the performance of the English team, overlaying the table published where you can see how 19 elements have been out of activity for some kind of health problem, joining the black list recently elements such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Uruguayan Darwin Núnez.

Although the picture shows a table full of injured players and with statistics that are far too extensive in terms of time out of action, for an institution with so much quality it should not be an excuse as to why they currently occupy eighth place in the Premier League. While it is true that there are elements that have not yet returned and others that will not see action until after Boxing Day, Jurgen Klopp has at some point been able to have a competitive group with which to play football.

Of the list of almost two dozen injured, the most affected by this situation have been Alex Oxlade-Chamberlai, Calvin Ramsay, Caoimhin Kelleher, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, Naby Keita and Ibrahima Konaté, The latter will be back in Klopp's squad for the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Ajax, as will Darwin Núñez and Thiago Alcántara, who were only left out for one game, which at the end of the day adds up in the stats.

Despite the negative results that the Reds boss has had so far, he has had his merits in several matches by coming out with a completely different starting eleven and tactical stop to the one he showed in previous days, finding throughout this storm several surprises on the bench such as Kostas Tsimikas and Harvey Elliot.
