Lovren running 'tight race' for Liverpool as Fabinho nurses pre-Bayern knock

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that his Croatian defender remains a doubt for a crunch European clash, but the versatile Brazilian should be fit

Jurgen Klopp admits Dejan Lovren is running a “tight race” ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, but Fabinho should be fine after picking up a slight knock.

The Reds have been without their Croatia international centre-half since seeing him suffer a hamstring injury early on in an FA Cup outing at Wolves on January 7.

Klopp has been forced to manage a defensive injury crisis since then and remains without a number of senior stars.
