The Liverpool manager appears a little helpless in the face of the recurring injuries that have affected his squad since the start of the season.
This will have to stop. Faced with the regular injuries suffered by his Liverpool players since the start of the season, Jürgen Klopp must tell himself that things will get back to normal. On Saturday, the Reds manager still had to notice a new glitch in defense.
Konstantinos Tsimikas suffered a broken collarbone during the draw conceded at home against Arsenal (1-1), a match counting for the 18th day of the Premier League.
The Greek left-back replaces the usual holder of the position, the Scotsman Andrew Robertson, injured… in the shoulder since October 12 during a defeat in Spain (2-0, qualifying for the Euro 2024).

“ It’s obviously very hard for us, it’s really hardcommented Jürgen Klopp, at a press conference before Tuesday’s match against Burnley. You get injuries sometimes, and we all accept them, but a broken collarbone is really serious. It takes so long. »
And in those moments, asks the German coach, “ we need luck to get through “. At Burnley, Joe Gomez, the right-hander, will play on the left side of the defense. “ We’ll just have to make sure we put it in cotton », concluded Klopp.
