Liverpool’s Adam Lallana has suffered yet another injury.

Jurgen Klopp has revealed to The Echo that Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana won’t be back this month.

The former Southampton star has managed only 18 Premier League appearances for Liverpool since the 2016-17 campaign due to injury.

Lallana hasn’t started a game for the Reds since November but has been available, making mostly cameo appearances.

He was supposed to start in the FA Cup defeat by Wolves earlier this month, but pulled up in training.

And Klopp has now revealed that the 30-year-old won’t be fit before the club’s 11-day break at the end of this month.

He said: “For Adam it might be a bit early but we have a few players out and they need the time.”

Here’s how Liverpool fans reacted to Lallana’s latest injury:

Klopp is clearly a fan of Lallana – whom he said was in ‘outstanding shape’ pre injury [The Telegraph] – but he really must consider moving him on this summer if he doesn’t swiftly recover from his latest setback.

Problem is, Liverpool are somewhat snookered in this respect.

He has another 18 months left on his contract and who is going to sign him in the summer without a lengthy period of fitness? This is the problem.

Adam Lallana of Liverpool warms up prior to the Premier League 2 match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at The Lamex Stadium on February 5, 2018 in Stevenage, England.
