da bwin： Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has refused to use injuries to his key strikers as an excuse for the team’s inconsistent form in recent weeks, according to the Guardian.
da roleta： Both perennial crock Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke are currently on the treatment table, with doubts over their fitness ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash with Southampton on Sunday.
Danny Ings has also suffered a serious injury that will keep him out until the summer, which means that Divock Origi has been leading the line for the Merseyside outfit.

Klopp, who took over from Brendan Rodgers and has drawn his first two games at the club against Tottenham and Rubin Kazan, stated that the injuries were unfortunate but not a reason to make excuses.
“We have the players we need and you will never hear from me: ‘With Sturridge we can do this’ or: ‘With Benteke we can do that’,” The Guardian quote the German as saying.
“I am really satisfied with the guys we have on the pitch already. I am not saying we don’t need strikers.
“Sometimes you need a finisher, a guy for the last ball – that is always the same in football – but if for any reason they are not available or not fully fit, then you must make the probability bigger that you can win with the players that you have.”
Klopp has been handed a sizeable task in trying to restore the Reds to their former glories but has arrived at Anfield with a significant reputation from his time at Borussia Dortmund.
Most Liverpool fans will be anxious to see if the former Bundesliga trainer will bring any new players to the club in the January transfer window, with his presence a drawcard for the club.
