What injury does Divock have?  It's so frustrating that he's out while 2 of our strikers are at AFCON.

Injured the left phalange mate.

Injured the left phalange mate.

He has a aeroplane

the silence re Divock is bizarre. I don't think there's been more than a couple of syllables since he went out.  which is really bizarre.

I hope to hell I'm wrong but it may be that he has a bad case of Covid that hit him when the injury did.  I don't know what other explanation there could be.

please god, I'm wrong.

[gerrardisgod]

Jurgen mentioned it was a knee injury at some point in December.

yeah, I know.  but other than that ..... crickets ....

Divock spelt backwards is K Covid. Coincidence? I don't think so.

K for Kappa? The latest variant?

Time to run for the hills!

Jeeebus now we have to deal with the Kryptonite strain?

Or is it the potassium strain.

Maybe he is going to Newcastle for £40M?

I didn’t know he was a sailor.

Gomez fit?

Gomez fit?

I think so mate - he said 'everyone else is fit and available' in the presser...

Only just read there that there's apparently a clause for a year's extension on his deal if he plays a certain number of games this season. I don't want to accuse him of anything, and most likely he would be professional and want another year here anyway, but it sort of makes me wonder about the timing of this - at the one time in the season where he would be guaranteed a lot of games, he's missing with a 'sore knee' injury that hasn't been detailed in any way. Like I said, most likely it's just bad luck, but I really hope it isn't anything to do with him making sure he can leave on a free in the summer.

[Dubred]

Personally think Origi would jump at the chance of a years extension to stay here.  Nah, definitely injured.

Definitley not, it follows the pattern of our recent injury history. It's become a thing here for a player to be out for a game... followed by barely any news on the injury and them just being out for an extended period.

We've seen it with the likes of Thiago, Gomez and Keita for example. It just seems to be how we report injury news at present

[royhendo]

This is life under Klopp. There was a Miguel Delaney article the year we won the CL where he recalled Klopp going to the PR/Comms department at Dortmund during an injury 'crisis' and insisting that they report each one as an 'opportunity' for someone else in the squad to assert a claim. That's how Klopp is - small squad, take risk, go low key with the updates on the injuries.

[newterp]

[Ian Doyle] Klopp on Origi: It's likely we could see him soon. Yesterday he was outside running and looked really good. He will not be too far away.

[TepidT2O]

knee injury, back in training very soon apparently

[Samie]

Back next week. 

Harvey Elliott is set to return to first-team training next week as he steps up his recovery from a dislocated ankle. The 18-year-old midfielder sustained the injury at Leeds four months ago.

Very glad to hear. Would be a huge help if he and Elliott could play some part vs Palace.

Great news, let's hope he gets up to speed soon.

[Dim Glas]

Divock doesn’t need to get up to speed, he just needs to be able to float onto the pitch looking slightly baffled as to why he’s there, and do his thing.

"Just be Divock".

Any more updates on Ox ?

Any more updates on Ox ?

Or Origi and Elliot?

Or maybe he’s been constrained financially at both clubs?

[Barneylfc∗]

Yeah he does routinely lie to everyone.
He's been at Liverpool nearly 7 years. Why would he hang about if he wasn't happy with how we are run? Plenty of oil clubs would rip your arm off (one or two probably literally) to get him.

[Thepooloflife]

Or Origi and Elliot?

Yeah, but we know they're on the way back - Ox only just happened and how bad is the problem with him.

[Songs to Sing]

What happened to Thiago?

[Samie]

Harvey Elliott played a full part in Liverpool’s training session today. [@dmlynch]

[Samie]

[Funky_Gibbons]

Well making him train while people are throwing javelins is just asking for trouble.

I think it's down to his staunch belief in focusing on the positive and making the most of whats available. He really is the anti-Mourinho.

[Dim Glas]

Or maybe he’s been constrained financially at both clubs?

bad choice of word.

You may not be happy with how it is, but nothing to suggest he has a problem with it. Kloppo knew exactly what he was walking in to at both clubs, at Dortmund he was arriving at a club that almost went bankrupt 2 years before and had pretty much no transfer budget to start with.  Here he knew how the owners work and how the club spends and had no problem taking the job.

gorra get them nimble feet going, Harvey lad!

Post of the day this !
