    Went Auba, Kai & Brandon Williams > Kane, Cornet & Reguillon for a 8 point hit. Gambling on Conte effect and also strengthening the bench before christmas schedule. Hope is to maintain rank/a little red.

      Athletic were reporting mid December during the IB but I couldn't tell if that was a misquote.

      Klopp wasn't that helpful, just said he's doing well but needs time.

      “Bobby [is] getting closer but not for the weekend. We’ll see, that will take a little bit longer still.”

      Sounds like sooner than mid Dec to me, but ambiguous enough

        It's his second hammy injury in a short period of time. Klopp will need him when Salah and Mane are away. I'd expect him to be used sparsely until then.

    I’d be laying Raphinha in his place so a decent alternative
