LIVERPOOL – The news of Joe Gómez’s injury in training for the England National Team (Timnas) has increased the number of injured Liverpool defenders. Now, it can be said that Liverpool are really feeling a central defense crisis because there are only a few players who can play.
When you look at the current Liverpool squad, only Andrew Robertson, the main player on the Reds team, is still fit to play. Virgil van Dijk is sure to be out for a long time due to an ACL injury when Liverpool face Everton in the 2020-2021 Premier League match.
Then Fabinho, who was used as a substitute for Van Djik as a center-back, was also injured. Then Trent Alexander-Arnold also suffered an injury and now Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp can only hope that Joel Matip can recover from his injury as soon as possible.

If Matip said his return, Liverpool would still need one more center-back. It is for this reason that Liverpool will reportedly buy a defender in the 2021 winter transfer market.
Several central names were immediately linked to Liverpool. One of them is a Bayern Munich player, namely David Alaba. Alaba, who has yet to extend his contract with Bayern despite the fact that their cooperation will end at the end of June 2021, makes Liverpool’s chances of taking over the Austrian player even greater.
However, Liverpool really need defenders in the near future. They can’t wait until the summer of 2021 opens to get free Alaba.
