[So… Howard Philips]

Your reflection told you all that? Weird.

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Any more of our players fucked on international duty?

Mane and Lallana back after international break. Game on!

3 more games until we are at full strength for the 1st time this year.  Of course, we all know that means that someone will get injured during the break.

still waiting on clyne

Klopp in the press conference was asked about a new injury to Coutinho. Said he has been having back problems again but was okay to play the Spurs game. He now has a problem with his adductor (hip/thigh region). Didn't train yesterday. They will see how he is today before making a decision for tomorrow. Not clear yet whether he will be out or not.

Great news! Also means Mane won’t be playing in those internationals next month!

Brilliant. Oh well, time for Oxlade-Chamberlain to prove his worth. I actually think he'll be a good player for us, though I'll admit that's pretty much blind faith at this point. Hopefully he can put in the sort of performance we need.

I suppose this pretty much guarantees we'll see the thrilling combination of Henderson, Can and Wijnaldum in midfield again, unless any of them are injured too. Happy days.

This was written before the press conference which I watched live.

Starts around 12m in. Klopp's comments were that he would train today, see how it goes but nothing certain yet. Reminds me of the week Matip & Lovren would be missing due to injury, even though Klopp said there was nothing decided yet, then both played. Journalists take worst case scenario and run with it as it generates most clicks. Uncertainty becomes fact.

fair enough and to be honest i hope you are right

[niallers]

Play him tomorrow or at least on the bench. Then leave him out of the squad for midweek and back for west ham.

[jillcwhomever]

Fingers crossed he can play a part in things tomorrow, even if its as a subsitutue.

[killer-heels]

We could have a number of first team players at Melwood over the international break. Could help the team in the long term and give the manager time to work with them.

[GreatEx]

Said he has been having back problems again

Oooh, well played, Jurgen.

[Qston]

So I have gone back through the last few pages and the current position seems to be that Lallana, clyne, mane and coutinho should all be available for selection after the international break and with coutinho potentially being available midweek. Good god, does this mean, subject to no further injuries, that for the first time this season we will have more or less a fully fit squad to choose from ? Lallana coming back is particularly needed

If nothing else goes wrong, I don’t think we will see the Best of everyone for a month or two, hopefully we will have a much better second half of the season

[So… Howard Philips]

Is Trent injured?

[sms1986]

Is Trent injured?

I’ ve not seen anything that says he is, so I doubt it. Why do you ask that?

Must have got my wires crossed. Thought I hadn't seen him for a while but just saw he was on the bench for Tottenham.

I think I've exorcised everything about that game from my mind, hence not noticing him.

[BazC]

Lallana, Mane, Coutinho, Salah hopefully all fit for Southampton onwards then?

Did that lot even play in pre season together?!

[killer-heels]

Yep, they played in the Bayern game. Lallana came on in the 2nd half.

[BazC]

Missed that game. Hopefully Lallana and Clyne can get back up to speed quickly, we really need them.

And no more injuries please, is it too much to ask for our best players to all be available at the same time! Can’t wait to see them all together on the pitch, we’re going to start causing some serious damage again.

[GreatEx]

Guys, don't do it to yourselves, don't talk about having a fully fit squad. There's an international break coming up. Chances are that Coutinho, Firmino and Salah will all do their ACLs playing in meaningless ties.

[killer-heels]

Mane could be in team training this week according to Klopp. What does that mean in regards to playing for Senegal? Surely he has to play for them?

Maybe he will if fit, the only way we can ever ensure he doesn’t get injured is for him not to play for anyone.

He is coming back from injury and they have 2 big matches. The worry is they push him more than he is capable of at this stage of his recovery.

[kavah]

^ aye you'd expect him to play in both of those (10th and 14th) - then we have Southampton (H) on the 18th, Seville (A) on the 21st and it would be great to have him fighting fit for Chelsea (H) on the 25th.

So 5 super-intense games in the space of 16 days with a loads of travel. What could possibly go wrong

[sms1986]

Lets see if he’s even fit by that time before worrying.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Klopp not sure when Clyne will be back

Something strange about this.

Why is there? He has a back injury.

Good timing, ahead of Egypt fucking up Salah

[Adam_LFC]

Why is there? He has a back injury.

Something seems off about it just. The fact he wasn't named in the Champions League squad, yet Lallana was when it was looking like he would miss the majority of the group matches.

Hasn't he been in light-training since mid September?

[clinical]

To be fair with a back injury you would be in light training.

[sms1986]

Yeah, Clynes been in light training for a while.

Good timing, ahead of Egypt fucking up Salah

He’s being rested - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thisisanfield.com/2017/11/liverpool-receive-boost-news-mohamed-salah-rested-international-break/amp/.

Swollen ankle for Gini

[mechinate]

Swollen ankle for Gini

So what is that, 6 weeks out? FFS we can't catch a breather with these injuries. Against West Ham we'll be without Coutinho, Mane, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Clyne and Lovren. I believe Ward is injured too. Absolutely mental.

I wouldn't worry, he's been called anonymous by a lot of people on here lately, and some will probably moan about him being injured too.

Where are you getting six weeks from anyway?

[killer-heels]

How did he get injured? In the warm up?

6 weeks for a swollen ankle? Surely a day or 2 for the swelling to go down unless it's broken or sprained?
