Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool have suffered yet another injury set back and this time it has affected the veteran flexible player James Milner.
Today Liverpool are playing Leicester City away and Jurgen was forced into an early substitution as he had to bring 35 year old James Milner off in the 18th minute.
Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara was brought on in Milner’s place which wont make Jurgen happy as the German boss attempts to protect his injury prone ex-Bayern midfielder.
This now marks the 10th player currently injured for the reds and that leaves Jurgen without many options when picking his team.
Liverpool now have 10 players out injured:
Kelleher
Van Dijk
Gomez
Matip
Jota
Fabinho
Keita
Origi
Davies
Milner4 more injuries since Liverpool last played against Manchester City last week.

Where will Liverpool finish this season when they have players dropping with injury every week? Four players have become injured since playing Manchester City on Sunday and their next game is a Champions League round of 16 tie with RB Leipzig.
It’s hard to imagine Klopp able to fill full strength starting XIs for the remainder of the season.
