Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has declared they will try to sign a centre-half before next week's transfer deadline.
Klopp was speaking today after losing Joel Matip to injury in victory at Tottenham last night.
He revealed, "Look, I don't know. But we will try. It is funny when you all think 'oh Liverpool will be just fine with the situation and they don't care or try.'
"We try but there is nothing to say until something happens. We will see. The situation yesterday didn't make it easier but we still try to do the right things. If that's possible, we will do it. If not, we won't."
Asked whether an attempt to sign a centre-back has stepped up, he added: "My thoughts didn't change but my words might have. That's probably my English.
"Same situation as before. We work always on this. That's what we did all the time. We will see."
Klopp says Liverpool hope to find out the extent of Joel Matip's injury in "three or four hours".
"There is still glimpses of hope it is not that serious," he added.
He also says there is "no chance" for Fabinho to feature on Sunday against West Ham.
