Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has bemoaned his side's poor luck with injuries during the current Premier League campaign.
Liverpool have enjoyed a decent season so far in the Premier League but it could be argued that the Reds would well have been challenging for the title had their key players managed to avoid injuries during crucial stages of the campaign.
Klopp has admitted that his side have been extremely unlucky in terms of injuries this season and has been left wondering 'what could have been' if only his squad were able to remain fit throughout the campaign.
Klopp said: "Look at the injuries we've had, not a lot of muscle injuries which is a sign of intensity. It's not the moment in the season where we are having the hardest training or whatever, so it's all about individual situations.
"We have managed Roberto Firmino for the last few weeks, kept him out of a few sessions to get back his freshness, so it's not that.
"If it happens in the game, it is different. Lucas got a knock, not serious, played until the end, a few problems. It was similar with Joel. Even he didn't say anything but there's a bit of a muscle problem.
"Ragnar's was contact in training, a knock to the knee, not long, but out. Sadio and Phil, the long term injuries, you saw what happened. That wasn't about intensity, it was about challenges. It's not about day to day, it's just.... the best word is unlucky."
