It’s been the international break all Reds have been dreadfully avoiding. Will be surprise if Klopp still has hair after the news of important players returning home because of injury.

The Team from Merseyside doing the business on the pitch seems to be having their rough patch in the early part of the season. Even though its been like a treacherous fishing trip in rough seas for the lads, they’ve still managed to come away with the results important to their Premier League push.

Laying third in position on the English Premier League table and still unbeaten for the campaign is nothing short of great for Klopp, and his men. However, it looks as if now will be the time this unbeaten record will be put through its paces.

Already suffering a cup defeat, which ultimately lead to their elimination from the Carabao Cup. Coupled with a Champions League defeat, shows something’s not going according to the scriptures.

But give them some credit – a grueling run was endured by the Reds, with them somewhat coming out on top of things. Unforgivingly, timing with injuries to key players has hit Klopp. And when I say hit, I mean hit him hard.

It look’s like the hill has taken another incline for all in Red

The break prior to this one, Klopp and Liverpool had a few worries that occurred, but it wasn’t bad enough that they missed any important parts to their machine. The only one missing and still missing was Adam Lallana.

Liverpool proceeded through club fixtures with all their men in stock, but now face a selection problem after this break. Four of Liverpool’s elite eleven are out injured, with one showing some promise of getting fit, hopefully before Saturday’s Huddersfield clash.

The African winger sustained a hand injury at the time of international duty. He underwent a surgery early today (Wednesday) in a bid to see if he will be fit before the not so hectic fixture happening on Saturday.

Shaw ready to commit to Man United. dark. Next

The blessing…

Thankfully, the match is not that intense as a Chelsea versus Manchester United one. Therefore, resting Mane will not be a bad option. Klopp has a Champions League fixture midweek of high importance.

It would be a sin to use Sadio in a rush or head of time. Rest now, reap reward later. Do I think it’s a problem him being out? Not at the moment for the forward. If they rests him, there are many who can play in his place, as the depth looks a lot more suitable to secure a three-point cover.
