Jurgen Klopp urged to complete new signing in January to save season

Liverpool must sign a new centre-back as soon as the January transfer window opens, says Paul Robinson as the Reds are preparing to be without Virgil van Dijk for the majority of the season. Van Dijk suffered an ACL injury during the Reds 2-2 draw with Everton and is set to undergo surgery. Joel Matip is also currently unavailable after picking up a knock against Everton, while Fabinho suffered a hamstring injury in the Champions League win over FC Midtjylland on Tuesday. "They can't afford any more injuries in that position," Robinson told Sky Sports News. "Come January, they are going to have to recruit, they are going to have to sign somebody because they are without Van Dijk for so long. "It can't be a scenario where you get to the end of January and Liverpool are still being linked with this centre-half or that centre-half, they have to have their business ready. "They have to do it very, very early on, i.e. the first day of the window and they have to be ready with a readymade replacement or reinforcements if you like." source - Express Join us on Telegram
