Your support makes all the difference.Jurgen Klopp has revealed he does not know when Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson will return for Liverpool.
The midfielders missed the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Monday as the Reds’ depth is tested in the Premier League title race.
Henderson had been used as an out-of-position right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez’s injuries leaving the side exposed.
The dropped points at the London Stadium leaves Liverpool now just three points ahead of Manchester City, with Klopp providing an injury update.
“Gini and Hendo, both would’ve played and then they cannot play. That’s not too cool, I don’t know how long it will take,” Klopp told Liverpool’s official website.
“That’s the situation, that was always clear. It’s a long season and you have to deal with the situation.
“When players are in, all the players are there, then you maybe have a bit of a headache making the line-up, who wants to start, who you leave out. If you don’t have them that makes line-ups easier, but it leaves you short of options.
“We had a pretty young bench tonight and two strikers, a left-back – that doesn’t help in a game like this now. So it’s like it is. We have to deal with situations like that.
“We got a point and it’s a very positive sign, I would say, if you are disappointed about a point at West Ham. But it’s still a point, and let’s carry on.”
