Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has again reiterated his belief that ‘there’s no need’ for Liverpool to bring in extra bodies in midfield, but the injuries are beginning to mount — with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain limping off before half-time in their pre-season win over Crystal Palace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oxlade-Chamberlain, 28, was replaced by Leighton Clarkson just one minute before the interval with what looked to be a hamstring problem, with the England midfielder cutting a frustrated figure as he hobbled off.<\/p>\n

A knee injury kept Oxlade-Chamberlain out for the first half of the last campaign and he’ll be hoping that this isn’t a serious problem ahead of the new season, amid reports he will have an important part to play in the Liverpool title bid.<\/p>\n

Klopp has suggested multiple times this summer that Liverpool’s transfer business is complete, with Darwin Nunez, 23, joining the club for a \u20ac75m fee as well as Fabio Carvalho, 19, and Calvin Ramsay, 18.<\/p>\n

Many have claimed that Liverpool need to bring in more bodies in midfield and, whilst it certainly does seem to be the squad’s weak point, the German is insistent that he’s happy with the options available to him at present.<\/p>\n

“How I said if nobody wants to leave \u2013 and no player came to me with that request yet and I don\u2019t expect it really, to be honest \u2013 there is no need for a new midfielder,” Klopp told the press ahead of their pre-season clash with Crystal Palace in Singapore.<\/p>\n

“We cannot just add on midfielders. We respect the contracts with our boys as well, that means as long as we signed them, they get all our support \u2013 in training, between the sessions, during the games and between the games.”<\/p>\n
