Liverpool will only sign the 'right' players despite injuries, says Klopp
LIVERPOOL — Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said that a mounting injury list at the club was a concern but that he would not splurge in the transfer market just for the sake of strengthening his squad. Liverpool, who were held to a disappointing draw by promoted Fulham on the opening weekend, have been hit with injuries to several key players, including Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas, Reuters reports."We have injuries, that's how it is.

LONDON — Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney believes that the club must let Cristiano Ronaldo leave if they are to build a successful team for the future under new manager Erik ten Hag.
