Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy to back his kids over a shortage of right-back options.

With Nathaniel Clyne on loan at Bournemouth, Rafa Camacho – who made his Premier League debut during injury time against Crystal Palace – is Liverpool's only recognised available right-back at present.

“It is a really difficult problem," said Klopp. “I can imagine what people think about this situation but you have to make decisions in moments when decisions are on the table.

“That's why Clyney is not here anymore. In that moment we had plenty of options and now we don't have them. That's how it is in our next games.

“Trent (Alexander-Arnold) got an injury and it's serious but not that serious. He will be back early but I don't know if early enough for the next game. Maybe the game after (at West Ham United the following Monday).

“Everyone gives me the feeling, Trent as well, that that is absolutely possible but we have to wait and cannot risk anything. We have to come through this situation."

Klopp added: “Tell me a player who can play right-back and other positions as well better than our boys like Rafa can do?

“By the way, after training Ki-Jana (Hoever) has a little injury as well, not too serious and he's probably back for the Leicester game but these things happen.

“Crystal Palace, of course, had three goalkeepers and all is fine and then the next moment you stand there with one. Do you buy another goalkeeper? I'm not sure. We have to use the resources we have already and that is what we try."
