-- Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Liverpool are prepared todo business during January transfer window but admitted that it is a
difficult period to do business in.
Klopp has previously said that he could make additions due to mounting injuries within the squad.
Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings are all currently
sidelined through injury, and Klopp only had Ben Woodburn, 17, and Ovie
Ejaria, 19, on the substitutes' bench as an attacking outlets in
Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham United.
The Reds boss said that if the current selection problems continue, then the club may have to make signings next month.
"If you watch our bench yesterday -- very experienced in defence and
not in the same way experienced in the offence," Klopp told a news
conference at Melwood on Monday.
"If the situation stays like this then it's clear that we have open
eyes for everything. But the winter transfer market is maybe the most
difficult one because the players you want, the other clubs doesn't want
to give you. It's not about money. The players you don't want, you can
have. That's all.
"We are always looking. Maybe it's a surprise but we always work hard
on this part of the business because we need to have an overview about
everything. That's what we do, but nothing else."
Meanwhile, midfielder Emre Can is a doubt for Wednesday's trip to
Middlesbrough with a knee injury that forced him to sit out the
weekend's game at Anfield.
However, Klopp is confident that the 22-year-old will be able to return for the Merseyside derby on Dec. 19.
"It was a challenge with Divock [Origi] in training -- knee on knee.
Both trained on and both could do the rest of the training. Emre [was]
in a little bit more pain," Klopp said.
"We looked a little more exact on it. I never heard this ligament but
it's a little bit damaged. He is already in a good way, but he is a
doubt for Wednesday.
"I think Everton he will be back for sure, but it would be cool if he could [be in] training tomorrow. We will see."
Elsewhere, Marko Grujic is close to returning as he is making a
comeback from a "tendon" injury, which has kept him out for "about three
weeks," according to Klopp.
The 20-year-old Serbian midfielder has not played for the Reds since October .
