Klopp admits Fabinho could start in defence against Bayern

Jurgen Klopp has conceded that Liverpool may need to name another makeshift back four when they face Bayern Munich.

Speaking at his weekly press conference, as reported by the Daily Mail, Klopp explained that Fabinho could once again line up in the defence as injuries continue to pile up for the Reds.

Fabinho? In the Champions League, against Bayern Munich, it is not an easy job but it makes sense, it depends all about how we defend in general. There will be a lot of moments where we have to defend. We have worked on that, we respect the quality of Bayern Munich a lot.

Dejan Lovren remains a doubt in the build-up to the game and is unlikely to feature in the first leg.

The Croatian defender has been out of action ever since the FA Cup tie with Wolves, where he suffered a hamstring injury in the opening minutes of the game.

He has since been working his way back to full fitness but is unlikely to make it in time for the game against Niko Kovac’s side.

With Joe Gomez also out, Klopp has been forced to rotate at the back in recent weeks.
