DBasia.news – Liverpool are having difficulty to start the 2022-2023 season. Just two weeks into the Premier League, the list of injured players from Jurgen Klopp’s squad continues to grow.
Until now, there are at least nine players who have had to be sidelined due to injuries, be it minor or serious. Among those names, some are crucial.
From the back sector, for example, after Joel Matip, who was regularly injured, began to improve, Ibrahima Konate was severely injured too. The French defender is reported to have suffered a knee injury.
For new recruits, it’s not too bad. Calvin Ramsay, who was brought in from Aberdeen, has not been tested by Klopp. After successfully undergoing medical tests, the promising right-back actually injured himself in training.
Other mainstay names who were sidelined include Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, Thiago Alcantara, to Curtis Jones. They are predicted to recover in various times.
Meanwhile, Klopp is also puzzled about the absence of players due to punishment. Of course, the name in question is Darwin Nunez, who in the match against Crystal Palace received a red card.
The Uruguayan striker has the potential to go through several matches as it is possible that the FA may provide additional penalties for violations of the disciplinary code due to ‘headbutting’ Joachim Andersen.
