Ryan Gravenberch is making his debut at Anfield, while Thiago is still traveling back, so according to Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool must use every available midfielder.
The Reds haven’t lost in a week thanks to back-to-back 3-1 victories over LASK and West Ham, which they followed up with a victory over Wolves.
As the pressure mounts at the top of the Premier League, Sunday’s victory against West Ham made it seven games without a loss this year.
On that same day, Klopp started Gravenberch at Anfield for the first time, and Wataru Endo, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota, who scored the goal, all came off the bench.
Thiago, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Harvey Elliott were not present, and Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Curtis Jones are currently the trio of first choice.
If you play in the Champions League, you might occasionally play on Tuesday before moving on to Saturday or Sunday, or vice versa.
“The difference is now absolutely evident; you don’t have much time between Thursday and Sunday.
“We must adjust to that. We absolutely need the entire squad for that.
But as Klopp points out, he will require players like Endo, Gravenberch, Thiago, and Stefan Bajcetic in the next weeks and months, with Liverpool’s upcoming match serving as a great example.
If Liverpool want to win on all four fronts, that “luxury,” as it was described, is crucial.
