Jurgen Klopp’s side has seen a sequence of injuries recently, but the Liverpool legend believes that the club has many options left.
Liverpool might concede fewer goals in the absence of Trent Alexander-Armold, says John Barnes. The Reds legend also said that he is not worried to see the English defender join the injury list at Anfield.
It has been a disaster for Jurgen Klopp when it comes to the fitness of the players, with a series of them getting injured. We have witnessed Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Alexander-Arnold sustaining lesions. And it is still unclear when the trio will be fit to feature for Liverpool.
The Premier League title holders are using their rotational members to replace the missing players. But ex-Liverpool man Barnes trusts that Klopp has plenty of alternatives to make up for the absence of Alexander-Arnold.
He told BonusCodeBets: “One player getting injured, Trent Alexander-Arnold in this case, can’t have that sort of impact on the team where it completely stops their way of playing. It is disrespectful to the other 10 players on the pitch who are fighting for the shirt.
“Trent being injured is not something that Liverpool cannot overcome. Because new additions can come in and the tactics get slightly tweaked. The replacement for Trent might be more defensively sound and therefore Liverpool could concede less goals.
“When one player is missing, it is not a devastating and negative loss like some people are led to think.
“Depending on the game, we can have James Milner there, who has so much experience in the big games. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if the young boy Nico Williams plays more often than, he’s a terrific talent.”
