One of the main reasons for Liverpool’s recent decline is a combination of a tight schedule and injured squad. An important victory, 0: 2 over Sheffield United from the bottom, but in order to produce renewed consistency and not lose the place in the Champions League, the Merseysiders need some good news from the injured sector.
In preparation for the match against Chelsea in three days, Jürgen Klopp Expressed optimism that his squad would look a little better: “I’m pretty sure Allison and Fabigno will be available. Diego Jote? He was with us at the hotel now, but he felt unwell and we sent him home. It all depends on how fast he recovers. He trained with “The team and things looked better, but then he got sick. Maybe he will be available too, I don’t know.”
The German manager was asked how important and big the victory against Sheffield was: “Very big, very big. Of course we needed points to get back to the kind of contact with the teams above us in the table, so that was very important.”
By the way, Liverpool’s second goal yesterday was its 7,000th in the Premier League ever. She is the second to reach that amount, after Everton which already stands at 7,108. Also, Curtis Jones has become Liverpool’s youngest player since Raheem Sterling (2014, was 11 days younger at the time) scoring in an away game in the Premier League.
