  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Liverpool are in dire need of a new left-back as Andy Robertson has been out of action with a shoulder injury since October. Coach Jurgen Klopp was dealt a further blow when Kostas Tsimikas suffered a broken collarbone in the recent 1-1 draw with Arsenal, leaving him without a designated left-back.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Klopp called on Joe Gomez to fill in for Tsimikas after the latter went off injured and the 26-year-old was trusted to start in the 2-0 win against Burnley on Boxing Day, but the Anfield club will need to bring in another option as soon as possible.
