Even after the many injuries that Liverpool has to contend with Sepp van den Berg not yet eligible to play centrally in the back. On Tuesday evening, Fabinho, who was already the replacement for Virgil van Dijk, was also injured.
The Dutchman will soon be under the knife and Fabinho replaced him with verve in the last matches, but the Brazilian had to be replaced on Tuesday with hamstring complaints in the Champions League match with FC Midtjylland. Because Joël Matip is already injured, trainer Jürgen Klopp and Joe Gomez have only one full central defender left.
Rhys Williams, a youth player, already came in against Ajax and also played against Midtjylland as a replacement for Fabinho. However, he should not be expected to play three games a week and so Klopp cites names of players who can also play in the center of the back. Sepp van den Berg, who went from PEC Zwolle to Liverpool in the summer of 2019, is not among them.
After the game, Klopp said at the press conference that he has some ideas. “We have Nat Phillips and Billy Koumetio will join the training. Rhys Williams has done very well today and was very demanding, but you will be writing a lot about him in the four days between now and the game against West Ham. have to deal. “
