Ox

Lallana is more injury prone than Sturridge which is an achievement

We were in such good shape. Klopp had rotated so well. But injuries in last month has really hit us in such a crucial stage.

Can only hope Can/Lallana step-up their recovery or Oxlade's injury isn't as bad as it seems

Would be good to get some use of Can before he goes to Italy. Preferably in PL games and on the bench for the CL

Grujic out on loan...will need to blood in players from the u23s

TAA is a midfielder, could operate on the right of the three midfield roles if clyne gets up to speed.

Milner was there yesterday after ox went off, and was pretty much 15 yards in front of trent at all times, although a little further infield.

Hardly an ideal situation, but might be an answer.

This however is typical ox.. Always getting injured as he hit good form... One of the reasons we thought he was overpriced has now affected us directly

Play VVD in midfield

Think we might see TAA in midfield in a couple of the league games with Clyne or Gomez at right back.

That or maybe try someone like Mane there?

I can't see Mane playing there but TAA, definitely.

It makes our end of season really tough. We may see a couple of academy players brought in.

That sucks for him. He got injured before the last World Cup too, and was actually one of our better performers.

My immediate thoughts when he went down writhing in agony was that it was bad. When he stood up and immediately fell over I thought even worse.

I don't want to sound like the prophet of doom, but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses pre-season.

Remainder of the season? CL final? World Cup?

Dream on. I hope Im proved as wrong as ever.
