Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists he's unlikely to move for a new defender in next month's winter market.

Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold (foot) and Joel Matip (broken collarbone) this week joined Joe Gomez (fractured leg) on the injury list.

Klopp admits he may have to get creative but that is unlikely to involve spending in January.

“A crisis is if you feel it is a crisis. With Trent, it's not as serious as with the other two boys, but of course it's not top class news, that's clear," he said. “Our situation is like this: if you would have asked me two weeks before if we were doing anything in the transfer window I would have said probably not.

“Now we have two centre-halves left. Will we do something? Not really likely because they are not out for (long)."
