Liverpool confirmed
Thiago Alcantarahas picked up a hamstring injury during their 2-2 draw at Fulham and won't be able to play for a number of weeks.
Despite that,
Jurgen Kloppinsists Liverpool won't change their transfer policy despite their growing injury list.
Klopp after their
Fulhamdraw:
"We said we don't need a midfielder because we have enough - and we actually have enough, but the problem now is we get punished for something that is not our responsibility really because things like this can happen.
"Nobody could imagine that Curtis gets the thing he gets; it is nothing serious but he is a young boy and it is a kind of stress reaction. Bodies are like this. Naby is only ill and he will now be back definitely next week again. Oxlade happened early and now with Thiago that is, of course, not good and we will see.
"Look, a transfer must make sense now and in the long term; we have midfielders, we have still enough midfielders. It is not that we lack midfielders, but it's just some of them are injured.
"This is not a good situation, I don't like it at all, but we have to see how we react on that - but for sure not panicking."
