Such are Liverpool's injury problems at present that it'd be no surprise to learn Jurgen Klopp had applied for planning permission on an extension of the AXA Centre's treatment room.
Barely a few days into the new season and Klopp is already surveying a lengthy absentee list that now stands at 10 members of the wider squad. Naby Keita's illness means he should at least be cleared to return this week, while there is also hope that Kostas Tsimikas is primed for a comeback too.
Some of those on the shelf right now, though, are far from ideal, particularly given Saturday's underwhelming draw at Fulham to kick the campaign off. Ibrahima Konate, Klopp admits is a "major blow", while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's untimely Singapore setback means he hasn't had a pre-season schedule to work on his own fitness.
