Jurgen Klopp is open to the idea of playing Andrew Robertson or Jordan Henderson at centre-back as he looks for a 'Javier Mascherano-type solution' ahead of Liverpool's game with West Ham.
An injury crisis has left Liverpool short at the back ahead of Saturday evening's game at Anfield and Klopp may either have to turn to youth to plug the gap or reposition one of his midfielders.
With Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip out injured, Klopp has just one recognised first team centre-half - Joe Gomez - at his disposal.
