Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has taken his "warriors" to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp, where he hopes to find a solution to his current selection dilemma.
James Milner's red card in Saturday's 4-3 victory over Crystal Palace leaves the boss of the Premier League leaders with a headache right back when Leicester visit next week.
Joe Gomez, a foot injury since December 5, will accelerate his recovery in the Middle East – as well as midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (absent since April due to serious knee ligament injuries) – and could have a chance to l & # 39; outside. do the game
However, Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) is still two weeks away from fitness.
Fabinho would have been an option in a position that he holds for Brazil but he's injured late against Palace – and even though he's fit, he might be needed in midfield with Georginio Wijnaldum for a hamstring problem.
Klopp gave Rafael Camacho, 18, his Premier League debut for the final minutes of the weekend, clinching a crucial freeze for Wiilfried Zaha. It may have to be the only answer against Leicester if all backup plans fail.
Klopp, who does not intend to seek a solution in the transfer market, said: "We now need time to recover, obviously, as we have had some injuries.
"Let's hope we can bring some back. Millie will unfortunately be absent, but we will see – as long as we have enough players, we will find a solution.

"(But) in the middle of the field, Gini is not in the place, so you can not make the desired changes.
"These boys are real fighters. It's a group of good warriors, I love it. They all stick their leg or whatever.
"It would have been a huge challenge if we were to play Wednesday and then Saturday. I do not know how we could have done that, to be honest.
