Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has indicated when he thinks injured midfield duo Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could return to action for the Reds.
The pair have been away for some time and are clearly hurting Liverpool, even if Oxlade-Chamberlain in particular had not been a regular starter for the club this season.
Fabinho also missed the start of the campaign, while Thiago Alcantara is another who has been slow to return, leaving Liverpool desperately short of options in the middle of the park.
Liverpool fans will be intrigued to hear that it might not be long before the duo return to action.
Speaking at his press conference today, as quoted by Goal’s Neil Jones, Klopp expects Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain to be available again in October…
Klopp says that Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should return “sometime in October”, hence their exclusion from the CL team.
He says that Keita will not go with Guinea to the internationals.#LFC

Liverpool have had a poor start to the season, but not so bad that they can’t start turning things around soon with better form.
Having additional options in midfield next month could make a huge difference for LFC as they look to get back into the title race, or at least contend for a top four finish.
