'Can he play in defence!?': Liverpool fans joke club's newly-hired recovery and performance guru Andreas Schlumberger, who worked with Jurgen Klopp at Dortmund, will have to fill in at centre back amid injury crisis

Liverpool have announced recovery and performance expert Andreas Schlumberger has joined the club - and supporters are already joking he will have to take to the field himself during their injury nightmare.

The Premier League champions have been rocked by a number of notable absentees this season, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip currently among those ruled out, and have now taken steps to help solve their dilemma.
