It doesn’t look good Jurgen Klopp gives injury notices of Joel Matip, Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker for Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp fears a long injury layoff for Joel Matip as Liverpool await the results of the defender’s check. Klopp confirmed after the game that Matip had injured his knee, and while the Red boss revealed in his press conference on Tuesday that the centre-back is still awaiting further assessment, he admits he is worried he will be sidelined for a long time. Liverpool will have the last laugh at Chelsea as a new transfer figure of £128m is revealed The 2023 summer transfer window was determined by two things; the huge amount of money that both the Saudi Arabian Pro League and Chelsea spend to sign talent. On the other hand, SPL parties have offered huge sums of money, with the four biggest backed by Newcastle United’s owner, the Saudi Arabian Investment Fund (PIF). Three Liverpool players have decided to leave the Premier League following an offer from Saudi Arabia, with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino all leaving. More than £1bn has been spent in transfer fees in three windows since their arrival, with the club breaking the UK transfer record twice in that time, first with the £105m signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in January and then for 115 millions of pounds The capture of Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer. But for Caicedo, the Reds offered £111m in the summer, prompting Chelsea to end their game of cat and mouse with Brighton and pony up the big bucks to complete the deal. A few days later, another Liverpool target whose club was close to closing, Romeo Lavia, decided to do exactly the same, signing from Southampton to Chelsea in a deal worth £58m. It was a painful few days for the club, followed by bitter disappointment as they finished fifth and crashed out of the lucrative Champions League for the first time since 2016. Rebuilding and rebuilding, particularly in midfield, was a major theme for Jurgen Klopp’s men heading into the summer. But in the summer FSG gave the green light to a mammoth bid for Caicedo, while more than £50m was offered for Lavia.
