Liverpool have suffered another injury blow ahead of their clash with Leicester City.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be forced into yet another reshuffle in the centre of defence with Fabinho out injured for Saturday's clash against Leicester.

It paves the way for Klopp to hand a debut to either Ozan Kabak or Ben Davies, Liverpool's two deadline day signings to ease their ongoing injury crisis in the centre of defence.

"Fab will not be available by the way, he has suffered again another muscle issue," Klopp said in his Friday press conference. "So we have to find a solution and they have all had a chance to show in training who is ready."

Liverpool signed Davies from Championship side Preston on the last day of the January transfer window before completing a deal for Kabak from German Bundesliga side Schalke.

"With the boys we have had some sessions together where we could work with the defensive setup and that is really important," Klopp said. "And Nat Phillips has done well (in defence previously) and Hendo."
