Liverpool boss Klopp admits Kabak injury setback

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Ozan Kabak may be out of their clash with Fulham due to injury.

Klopp confirmed on Friday that the Turkish defender picked up a "little problem" after their disappointing defeat by Chelsea and could miss the Reds' next Premier League game on Sunday.

When quizzed about Fabinho's return to the starting XI, Klopp revealed that he will likely be without the Schalke loanee for the Cottagers' visit.

"We had the problem that Nat Phillips would play with Ozan [Kabak] but couldn't play," Klopp told reporters.

"So now do we take an unexperienced pairing on the pitch or do we take Fabinho? We decided for Fabinho.

"Now Ozan yesterday, after the game, had a little problem after playing a lot of games and we will see if he's ready for Fulham – it doesn't look like it at the moment."
