‘This Season Is A Joke’ ‘Is This Normal?’ Liverpool Fans Scarcely Believe What They’re Hearing As Klopp Confirms ANOTHER Injury
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that centre-back Ozan Kabak is a major doubt for Sunday’s game against Fulham.
The Turkish international played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last night but, in his pre-match press conference today, Klopp revealed the defender has suffered a “small” injury.
Considering the lengthy list of injuries to centre-halves, supporters on Twitter can scarcely believe that yet another player has been sidelined:
This season is a joke

Is this normal ? The rate and amount of injuries we have ? Is there something wrong with our fitness trainers or something ??!

It seems likely that there could be a TWENTIETH centre-back pairing when they line up versus Fulham this weekend. Nat Phillips has recovered from a minor knock that kept him out of the defeat to Chelsea. The 23-year-old may be asked to partner Fabinho, although Klopp also mentioned Ben Davies is available so it may be a good chance to hand the January signing his debut.
Considering the issues that the Reds have encountered in recent weeks, most fans will be glad when this season is over.
