Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip have both been ruled out for two weeks, which has added to Liverpool’s defensive problems.
In the 3-2 loss to Arsenal on Sunday, Alexander-Arnold was replaced at halftime, and Matip left the game later on.
Both players are expected to miss several crucial matches due to the two-week absence of the England defender and the two-to three-week absence of Matip, according to The Athletic.
Luis Diaz’s injury during a slip-up against the current premier league leader has made things even worse for Jurgen Klopp.
The Colombian winger is predicted to miss ten games due to a knee injury but is expected to return for the Boxing Day match against Aston Villa, according to a report from Sportsmail.
The Reds will need to switch the right side of their defence in upcoming games due to injuries to Alexander-Arnold and Matip at a time when they are desperately in need of defensive consistency.
Liverpool will face a challenging week ahead as they visit Rangers at Ibrox Stadium for their Champions League tie on Wednesday, and host Manchester City on Sunday at Anfield Stadium.
The Reds may further lose three to six more points in games ahead as they suffer more injury woes in their team.
