Jurgen Klopp: ‘Injuries can't change Liverpool's transfer policy’

In addition to the mentioned players, Liverpool’s number one goalkeeper

has been sidelined through the pre-season and is expected to return in Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Fulham on Saturday.

"It's a lot of unlucky situations. It started with Caoimh, it started with Diogo [Jota]. One was injured, the other got a re-injury. Both were with the national team. We tried to step in as early as possible.

"In a few weeks, they will be back, but they were not here for pre-season, which is not cool."

It was a proper pre-season training session for him. He said he was nervous early on. Normal. He's settled quickly. Feels at home."

 "[Nunez and Firmino] are different players, they get on. They are both from South America, both offensive players but different positions.

"Bobby is an exceptional player. His own way of playing football. As a person, yes, [you can learn] but as a player, not sure."
