Liverpool are currently thin in the center-back department and will need to look to the academy to fill up the positions as the first-team defenders recover from injury.
Speaking after the game against Midtjylland, Klopp said (via Goal):
The former Borussia Dortmund boss added:
Jurgen Klopp faces center-back shortage against West Ham
Rhys Williams is likely to partner Joe Gomez for Liverpool in their Premier League fixture against West Ham United. The London side have been in good form and are likely to test Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Fabinho filled in at the center-back position against Midtjylland but limped off in the first half. Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk picked up a long-term knee injury in the fixture against Everton.
Joel Matip, the other center-back in the squad, is expected to return in the coming weeks but will be unavailable against West Ham.
Jurgen Klopp might look to sign a center-back in the January transfer window as Liverpool are aiming to reclaim their Premier League crown.
