Press conferenceExplained: The 'very important part' Reds' midfield options can play in rest of season

Liverpool will be without Fabinho in the centre of the pitch for Saturday's Emirates FA Cup final due to the muscle injury he sustained at Aston Villa in midweek.

Though the No.3 is set to be available for the Champions League final on May 28, Klopp is somewhat comforted by the attitude and quality of his other midfield options.

Asked about the role they can play in the remainder of the campaign, the Reds boss told a press conference: "A very important part. They played all the time a very important part.

"These few minutes a week where we can really train, without these boys showing the attitude they showed the whole year, we have no chance to deliver the performances we delivered. That's absolutely 100 per cent true. And we will see.

"We might play tomorrow 90 minutes, we might play 120 minutes – that will not change the kick-off time for the Southampton game.

"Depending on the result from City on Sunday, then we go for something or not or whatever, we will see that at Southampton. But then we need to be ready for that game and we have to make decisions then again.

"Yeah, enough options for the moment. The job is now to find the right one, so that's it."
