Jurgen Klopp: 'Liverpool have defensive problem following Martin Skrtel injury'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits that he could have a "problem" defensively after Martin Skrtel limped off during his side's 3-0 defeat to Watford.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that his side could be facing a defensive shortage after Martin Skrtel limped off injured during this afternoon's clash with Watford.

The centre-back was involved in two collisions with Watford skipper Troy Deeney, with the second forcing him off to compound Liverpool's misery as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road.

With Dejan Lovren also a doubt when the Reds welcome the league's highest scorers Leicester City to Anfield on Boxing Day, Klopp admitted that his side could have a "problem".

"Martin Skrtel is injured now, that is a problem I don't know who will come back in this moment. Nobody had a rest, now we have to look who is available for Boxing Day," he told Sky Sports News.

Liverpool have kept just two clean sheets in their last 14 Premier League games, while Leicester are the only team to have scored in every match so far this season.
