The full extent of Liverpool's worrying injury list revealed ahead of Brighton

Jurgen Klopp said it's 'almost a crime' to ask his Liverpool team to kick-off at 12.30pm at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League against Brighton this Saturday.

The Liverpool manager has been complaining about injuries and a hectic fixture schedule ahead of the match and even said 'give Brighton the three points now' before their midweek Champions League loss to Atalanta.

The Reds are already without a number of first-team regulars, and Klopp made a further five changes against the Italians to the side that beat Leicester in the Premier League last Sunday.

Liverpool were clearly saving their big hitters for the Brighton match and will also hope a few of his injured players can return.

A huge blow for the Reds. The classy Dutch defender will be out for the majority of the season after a a serious ACL injury against Everton. His surgery last month is said to have been a success.

8. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Injured his knee in pre-season and has featured this campaign. Jurgen Klopp however provided a positive update on the OX ahead of Leicester. "Ox [is] in a good way," he said. "But we will see if it is close enough." He didn't make Leicester or Atalanta but could be in contention to face Albion.
