Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp isn't panicking over their defensive options.

Klopp has insisted he is happy to find 'creative solutions' to Liverpool's centre-half problem following the departure of Dejan Lovren.

He said: “The situation is obvious, we have a lot of centre-backs, pretty much all of them apart from the three we had last year are all pretty young, which is good.

“A lot of space for development and they all did well; Sepp did well, Ki-Jana prefers right-back but did well, Billy did really well considering his age especially, and Nat Phillips came back from Stuttgart full of confidence.

“But Fabinho can play it as well, he did it against Bayern in the Champions League once. It worked pretty well because he is a smart player.

“How it is with the squad, you have to find a solution and you want to prepare for all possible problems during the season and can't, that's what we have to accept every year. We will have solutions in specific moments.

“With four senior centre-halves, we played in Qatar with Jordan Henderson on that position and without Fabinho in as well.

“Be ready for a creative solution in the right moments but hope that it will never come up."
