41 It’s a tumultuous time for Liverpool both on and off the pitch at the moment.
With the Reds challenging for trophies on three fronts having already bagged the Carabao Cup last weekend against Chelsea, the last thing they need is injuries to key players.
Unfortunately for Jurgen Klopp, he is having to battle through the next few games without the likes of Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah and others.
Despite missing some major stars, Liverpool’s academy players have done the German proud, and it could be a hint of what’s to come for the new man in charge once Klopp leaves the club this summer.

FSG want Michael Edwards back at Liverpool
Michael Edwards, who was key to the hire of Salah and others, and deserves as much acclaim as Klopp and his players for the part he played in the ‘glory years,’ is being targeted one last time according to Fabrizio Romano.
“In general, for Liverpool, with no director and no new manager yet, it’s absolutely not true that they are making concrete strategies on any player or any exit,” he said to CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing.
“A new director is the priority, then a new manager and then an agreed strategy on players. Nothing is happening right now.
“Liverpool will make one final attempt to persuade and convince Michael Edwards to return to the club. FSG, the owners of Liverpool, have already tried but he said no because he is very happy with what he’s doing right now.
“So at the moment nothing concrete, but Liverpool will try again and it’s going to be the final attempt. Otherwise they will move on in March.”
