Liverpool midfield depth for Fulham game is really worrying: shown in lineup

 would line up against Fulham in the Reds' Premier League opener on Saturday, August 6.

What is already known is that Jurgen Klopp will not have many options in the midfield.

 is ill. They won't be available against Fulham.

, who has some experience of playing for the first team, has today left the club for a season-loan loan at Blackburn.

Perhaps Academy midfielders Melkamu Frauendorf and 

, who impressed in the Strasbourg game, could make the squad for the Fulham game.

Here's what Liverpool's midfield depth for the game looks like.

'I'm happy with where we are': Klopp rates how ready Liverpool are for Premier League start

"When you have a pre-season, I'm now long enough in the business that I think I can get a sense of where we are and how good we could be," 

] was a really good sign because we looked really ready, we looked really sharp and that's important. 

"Now we have a full week, and in the end I think we have two full weeks probably for the next two games to prepare. 

"You have to use that as kind of a pre-season, that's why we played today and now we have to see that we prepare well for Fulham because it's a different game obviously. But the boys look good and so I'm happy with where we are. 

"A little bit lesser injuries would be nice – we were a bit unlucky very early, before we really started training, to be honest, and that doesn't help. But the boys will come back rather sooner than later and then we have a fuller squad. In the moment, the boys who are available look really good and sharp."

 suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Strasbourg, but that should not count for too much as the Reds fielded a heavily rotated side, one that you might only see in the opening stages of the Carabao Cup.

The win over Man City is a fairer reflection of where Liverpool stand just a few days away from the start of the Premier League campaign.

Keita, Konate, Jones: Klopp provides injury update

 played from the start but left the pitch in the 57th minute after a collision with a Strasbourg player.

Jurgen Klopp has shared an update on these three players.

"Naby is ill and Curtis felt a little bit and we couldn't take any risks. All of a sudden the team was really young and we play [against] a really strong Strasbourg side," he told Liverpool's media team.

"We don't know exactly yet on Ibou, but it doesn't look too concerning, so I hope we caught it in the right moment.”

"Naby is ill, so no," Klopp said when asked if Keita and Jones could feature against Fulham. "Curtis, we have to see. 

"[There] was no impact or whatever, so that always makes it a bit, 'My god, what could it be?'

“We had no time; he felt it today and he wanted to play desperately, but then the medical department said no and that we needed to make further tests. We will do that tomorrow and then we will know more."

Well I don’t see anything there to worry about. We have Milner aka mr reliable, we have a young energetic talent in Elliot, and we have our new little magician in Carvalho, so what is really there to worry about? Or you don’t know what to post here?

Jones is young and learning, plus his one of our own, a little loyalty wouldn't go a miss my man, we don't turn on our own like that. ubelievable

Brett Harbridge

I am loyal..... to the club, if players don't cut it they need to move on, you don't win trophies with sentiment. How many more years will the "Jones is young" argument work for? He's been around that first team for a few seasons now and done nothing of note. Contrast that to Harvey, that kid is exciting as hell and taking his chances by the horns.

his young, just broke I to the team and your saying g he should go?they are different players though ones a central midfielder the others a multi functional player, have faith the kids got the eye and got big players I front of him.

Wrong, have you only been a Liverpool fan since preseason started?! He hasn't only just broken into the team, he's been in the first team for a few seasons now and hasn't taken his chance. Much better players out there than him imo. You only need to look at Harvey to see how you should take your chances. He's a kid, playing in a team with the likes of Salah etc and was our best player last season before he got injured. Jones has been a ghost and had more than enough chances to do something.

hos s baby his o ly just bust into the team, his not even 23 year-old, the fact Jurgen agrees either me and not you, tells its own story, you don't cut your loses on someone who  has great potential, us he was Injured, give the kid a chance, bet your that guy that says...buy this one and buy that one? Co.e on, support your boys...YNWA

lmao no arguing with people like you. Klopp also belive in Keita which is a fucking mystery in itself to as he needs to go as well, someone else who's done nothing of note and spent more time injured than playing.
The kid has had chance after chance after chance. Never looks impressive when he plays and does nothing of note. There's better players.

Jones has gone backwards since last season, Ox and Keita are sicknotes. To think we kept those 3 and let Taki go is ìnsane :(
all 3 can't hack it at LFC imo, maybe Jones could turn it around but he's been a ghost in the first team for months.
so many much better options out there.

He should first off all take of our number 8 jersey 
Not worthy of wearing it 😉

Shocker that Keita is out again. Made of wet paper. Cut our losses with him, sell for less and replace with quality
