Who will Jurgen Klopp pick instead?

As Van Dijk and Gomez are out and Lovren is struggling with a hamstring issue, midfielder Fabinho could join Joel Matip in central defence.At his pre-match press conference, Klopp said: “Dejan, we have yet to see.“Fabinho – if [he plays in defence] – in the Champions League, against Bayern Munich, it’s not an easy job.“But because we thought it makes sense that we don’t leave our last row alone defending against Bayern, it depends all on how we defend in general, so that’s it.Liverpool midfielder Fabinho could join Joel Matip in central defence against Bayern Munich3

“There will be a lot of moments where we have to defend and we’ve worked on that. We tried to work on that because we respect the quality of Bayern Munich a lot – speed, technique, experience, it’s all there what you need to be successful.”Lovren, who hasnt played since early January, did not take part in the open section of Liverpools training session that followed Klopps press conference on Monday.
