The former Reds striker believes “another senior defender” should be acquired in 2021, allowing pressure to be taken off Fabinho
The sight of Joel Matip joining Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez in the treatment room means that Liverpool have to sign “another senior defender” in January, says John Aldridge.
The Reds have endured a wretched run of misfortune on the injury front this season.
Having already lost their first-choice centre-half pairing to knee problems, the reigning Premier League champions saw Matip forced off at half-time in a 1-1 draw at Fulham.
