Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp on Friday said he was looking for solutions in defense with centre-back Virgil van Dijk recuperating and temporary replacement Fabinho also sidelined with injury.
Van Dijk has successfully undergone knee surgery after he damaged ligaments against Everton in the 2-2 draw earlier this month.

He was at the receiving end of a reckless challenge by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The club did not give a time-frame on his return, with the Dutch defender potentially ruled out for the rest of the season due to the nature of the injury.

“The surgery was successful, which is really good. It was the best news we could get,” Klopp told reporters ahead of Saturday’s English Premier League (EPL) match against West Ham United.

“He’s as good as can be… It’s clear to say he’s a quick healer and a pain-coper.”

Midfielder Fabinho, who has been slotting into the back four in Van Dijk’s absence, suffered a hamstring injury against Midtjylland on Tuesday and is unavailable.

Rhys Williams replaced Fabinho for the last hour and Klopp said the 19-year-old could be an option along with Nathaniel Phillips and Billy Koumetio.

Both have been training with the senior squad.

“I can say a lot about his progress in the last few weeks or months,” Klopp said of Williams. “He’s been exceptional. He was already a very good kid when he arrived here.

“I realised long ago that life is a challenge. This is a challenge 100 per cent… Problems are only there to find a solution for. I see the challenge in the situation and I see there’s opportunity.

“We play football games every three days. So, this will stay a challenge… We will deal with the situation and make the best of it.”

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson is fit, however, with Klopp saying he was withdrawn at half-time against Midtjylland in the UEFA Champions League to keep him fresh for the weekend.

“I can count the games he’s played and we have to try to get through the period,” Klopp added. “It is intense and hectic, like December but every month. So, we have to make these decisions.”
