Ozan Kabak is an injury doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Fulham this weekend, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.
The Reds lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea on Thursday evening, as their appalling run at Anfield continues.
Liverpool simply have to win at home to Fulham on Sunday afternoon, or their top four hopes will likely end very quickly.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Klopp said that Kabak is the Reds’ latest injury worry, as their fitness woes continue.

Liverpool’s defensive absences this season have been extraordinary, playing a major role in the champions’ struggles.
To have Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip all out for the rest of the season is beyond belief, with Nathaniel Phillips missing the Chelsea game and now Kabak potentially out at the weekend.
It would be wrong to blame Liverpool’s poor season solely on this, but it is clearly the main reason why their title challenge has evaporated.
Should Kabak miss out, the hope is that Phillips is available to partner Fabinho at the back.
