Jürgen Klopp is confident that the mentality of his Liverpool team will bring them together and overcome the injury problems they currently face.
A host of older stars are currently sidelined due to their respective fitness issues, and Jordan Henderson is the latest player to be ruled out of Sunday’s Anfield clash with Leicester City.
However, Klopp explained that the Reds will not feel sorry for themselves and will be ready to “fight with everything we have” in the upcoming games.
“We are a unit, an adequate and adequate unit, and the more problems we have, the more united we will remain,” said the manager. “It was always like that and it will always be like that at this club.
“We do not look for excuses, we have the situation we have, we do not like the injuries we have because it is very hard for the boys who have the injuries, but everything else is working on solutions. That is what we always do.
“We have solutions in our mind; Maybe we think we are in the worst possible situation, but the season is long and we have only played eight games, so there will be a lot of problems. I’ve always said that whoever deals best with problems that come their way will have a chance to succeed. That’s what we try to be. “
Klopp added: “I don’t think my players have to prove anything. We always handle difficult situations very well. We will fight with everything we have and that means that if the problems get bigger, you get closer and you keep fighting.
“If anyone thinks that we will give up just before the game just because some of our best players, our very, very important players, are not available in the moment for a long, long time, then I can’t help them. We won’t do that, we just have to accept the situation and use the situation. So it is always in life, and so it is in our situation. “
Liverpool’s defensive ranks are currently the area most affected by the disabled list, with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez both undergoing surgery and Trent Alexander-Arnold will also be left out of the Leicester encounter.
When asked how the Reds can cope with the current situation, Klopp explained: “Taking it game by game. It doesn’t work in a different way because if you think about the next game before playing the game in front of you, you won’t have a chance in that game. It doesn’t make sense, then you will have completely different problems a few days later. It’s game to game and that will never change.
“There is no season in which you don’t have problems with injuries, it is always the same, but in our situation it is a little different that many players in the same position have been injured, seriously injured, and that complicates it, of course. .
“Nobody here feels any kind of self-pity or whatever; we don’t feel sorry for ourselves. It is the situation and the moment you get the information is a moment in which it hits you, but a minute later you are already in the solution process.
“We’ve been at that for a long time, so now we have players available, and I’ve always said that, as long as we can line up 11 players, we will fight for three points. We can and will field 11 players, I can promise that at least for Sunday, and then we will fight with everything we have.
