Injuries have already affected Liverpool’s transfer plans this summer as well with Manu Kone pictured in crutches at the U21 European Championships. Szoboszlai also picked up a knock in training, which ruled him out of yesterday’s friendly against Greuther Furth.
His injury isn’t thought to be serious and will be expected to return to the fray sooner rather than later. But with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now set to leave the club, Klopp will be wary of being left short once again in the midfield department.
However, Palhinha’s sudden injury setback in pre-season also acts as a warning to Liverpool to expect the unexpected when it comes to their summer targets.
