Jurgen Klopp will prioritise defensive reinforcements in the summer as injuries at the back threaten to derail Liverpool's title charge, according to The Sun. The club are currently missing Joe Gomez, Dejan Lovren and Trent Alexander-Arnold through injury, while right-back Nathaniel Clyne was allowed to join Bournemouth on loan. That has left Klopp's side short of cover at the back, with the German unable to make any additions in January. In the absence of their injured players, van Dijk and Joel Matip are the only fit senior centre-backs in the squad. Draws against Leicester and West Ham have stalled Liverpool's momentum, and Manchester City's win over Everton on Wednesday ensured they regained top spot.
