The German coach, who has suffered a real epidemic in terms of injured players in his squad along the season, would have recently recovered Andy Robertson for the left back after being absent since October, but he would still have several important inconveniences to face.

In this sense, while Mohamed Salah, Joe Gomez, Alisson and Gravenberch have recently returned to the training ground and could be considered for the league visit to Brentford, players like Dominik Szboszlai wouldn’t have followed the same sort, and could be still out for several weeks.

In this respect, Trent Alexander-Arnold would have been the last player to be added to the list, as he was confirmed as Liverpool's main absence for the Carabao Cup Final against Chelsea, which would force Klopp to look for a substitute of the Scouser playmaker.
