​Lallana: Training regime not responsible for Liverpool injury crisis

Adam Lallana insists Jurgen Klopp's training regime is not the reason for a spate of hamstring problems which have left Liverpool with an injury crisis.

The mounting injuries have led some to speculate as to whether Klopp's 'gegenpressing' style is too much for the players.

"We have had a change of manager this season. When that happens, lads look to impress more and give more," said the England international. "But I don't think these injuries have got anything to do with any changes to our training.

"We've had so many games recently that we've mainly been doing recovery sessions between games, so it's not as if the training has been really intensive. You can't blame that. Sometimes you are just unlucky with injuries and we've had a lot of bad luck recently.

"I know from my time at Liverpool that we've got a world-class medical team here. We certainly can't point the finger at anyone. It's a big blow losing Philippe and Dejan, and we just hope they aren't going to be out for long."
