The talismanic Virgil van Dijk could be out for the rest of the season after suffering ACL damage in the Merseyside Derby last month. Joel Matip and Fabinho are the only two senior players left who are comfortable playing in the position, and both have suffered injury problems of their own recently. Klopp has also hinted one of his midfielders could be converted into a centre-back in a similar way Javier Mascherano did in his latter years at Barcelona. "They are all not smaller than Javier Mascherano, for example, and he played pretty well in that position [for Barcelona]. "So yes, we still have one or two options and one of them we will choose."
