Opinion: Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp faces selection dilemma

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is facing a serious selection dilemma for the Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion. 

The Reds could be without three key players as Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Thiago all missed training for unknown reasons this week. 

Speaking ahead of the trip to the south coast, Klopp remained coy over the availability of the trio but did admit that there were Covid issues within the camp.

There was positive news on Roberto Firmino however as the Brazilian was confirmed as available for the crucial match. 

The return of the 30-year-old gives Klopp a wealth of attacking options to choose from and could perhaps see some big omissions from the starting lineup.
