Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is prepared to see two of his midfielders depart - and without a replacement arriving.

The Times says Liverpool will allow Tyler Morton to move on this summer on loan to hand him more senior playing time.

Morton will join Championship side Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan. Harvey Elliott also spent a season at Ewood Park, with Liverpool hoping Morton can gain similar experience to his team-mate at Anfield.

When Morton's move to Rovers is confirmed, it will leave Liverpool down a midfielder. And Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could also follow him out of the exit door, decreasing Klopp's options further.

The Reds are unlikely to bring in any midfield reinforcements until next summer, when they will push to bring in Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham. With Morton leaving, it would leave a vacancy, one which they cannot fill with Bellingham for another year.
