Jurgen Klopp put his Liverpool players through their paces ahead of tomorrow’s visit of Bournemouth.

The Reds go into the game having drawn two and lost one of their first three Premier League outings this season.

A victory is massively important for Liverpool but, as ever, their midfield options – or lack of – remains a major concern.

Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones are all still sidelined, while it remains to be seen if linked-away Naby Keita is available after his mysterious absence versus Manchester United.

It seems like Liverpool boss Klopp is edging closer to having to use 17-year-old Stefan Bajcetic.

The teenage midfielder has been named on the bench by Klopp for all three Premier League outings, underlining the German manager’s lack of options.

And he was spotted in training again yesterday:

Darwin Nunez was also among those at the Axa Training Centre.

The Uruguay international remains suspended for Liverpool and will not be eligible to face the Cherries tomorrow, but he looked happy as anything in Kirkby nonetheless, even celebrating training-ground goals.

With Diogo Jota still injured, Roberto Firmino is likely to continue in attack in place of Nunez against Scott Parker’s outfit on Saturday.

The veteran Brazilian struggled at Old Trafford but hopefully for him – and Liverpool – he can improve.
