Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Liverpool will look for potential options in the January transfer market to solve their defensive crisis. The Reds boss refused to rule out hiring a replacement for Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk, should the Premier League champions fight in his absence between now and the New Year.
Klopp has no illusions that Liverpool will have a difficult six weeks to navigate before then, with league and European games full of strength and speed.
Liverpool took another devastating blow last week when Gomez suffered a serious knee injury in England training.
Since then, the 23-year-old has undergone successful surgery like his fellow central defender Van Dijk and the pair are unlikely to play again this season.
Klopp has now admitted that the club might have to show its strength in the market to continue challenging on all fronts.

“We have talent here. They are young, 18, 19, 23, and we have more experienced players, so we’ll see. Now everyone has a chance. I have no idea what we do in January. If we can do something in January, I have no idea.
“We will just have to see. But these are the situations we have at the moment, we use the guys we have … and for the moment we are fine.
