Ibe also missed the Exeter game with a hamstring strain, but Klopp said: “For Jordon Ibe, Hendo and Mama, we have good news”.
Liverpool’s now injured centre-back Dejan Lovren has made some rather bold comments about our supporters, who were highly critical of his performances after arriving from Southampton in summer 2014.
Jurgen Klopp could welcome back FOUR players for the visit of Arsenal as Liverpool ‘s injury list begins to subside. “For now though we have Kolo and Mama to talk about, and then there is also Lucas-so three who can play at centre-back”.

Martin (Skrtel) is still a few weeks, Dejan the time of injury is only 6 days, something like 8 or 12 maybe (before he can return), so it’s close. “That’s the situation, but next week it could be different”.

“In Germany, when you tell people about the FA Cup that if you draw you play again, they say ‘what?'”. They are leading the table with 42 points after 20 matches.
“We tried to create chances and we kept the ball well”.

He said: “When I came here, I didn’t know there were two rounds in the semi-final of the Capital One Cup!”
“It’s very important to be focused game by game”.
