Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has admitted the team will eventually 'be thankful' for the challenging period they are going through.
The reigning Premier League champions have won just two of their last six games with manager Jurgen Klopp conceded their title defence was over following a 3-1 defeat at Leicester last weekend.
The Reds have been plagued by a huge list of injuries to key men this season with 10 stars currently on the treatment table.
There is little time for Klopp's charges to regroup with the 2020-21 season more congested than ever due to the coronavirus pandemic and Liverpool play RB Leipzig in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night with the Merseyside derby to follow on Saturday.
