Jurgen Klopp points to Liverpool injuries in inconsistent season

Jurgen Klopp has emphasised the significance of injury issues in Liverpool’s “difficult situation” as they attempt to find more consistency this season.

The Reds are currently eighth in the Premier League after a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, their third top-flight loss of the campaign.

They have had a number of players unavailable and while Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate could return from injury in Wednesday’s Champions League game at Ajax, the likes of Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota remain sidelined.

Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are ineligible having not been included in the Reds’ squad for the group stage. Boss Klopp – whose side will seal last-16 qualification if they avoid defeat at the Johan Cruyff Arena – told a press conference on Tuesday: “We see the performances and they’re not as stable and consistent as they were, that’s clear.
