Nightmare for the lad. Thankfully we're stacked on attacking options, gives the lad time to fully recover without having any pressure on the team and himself.

Liverpool Football Club can confirm Danny Ings requires surgery on an impact injury sustained to his right knee during the EFL Cup fourth-round tie with Tottenham Hotspur last week.

The problem was picked up when attempting to make a challenge in the closing stages of the game at Anfield - and Jürgen Klopp has explained to supporters it’s likely to mean the Reds are without the striker’s services for a period of between seven and nine months following the operation.

The procedure, which will be performed today in London, will correct the damage sustained from the challenge to the cartilage in his right knee. It is not in the same knee in which the 24-year-old suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in October 2015.

Klopp said: "To say we are gutted would be an understatement; he is such a great boy and has worked so hard that he deserves better luck than this.

"It is typical of Danny's personality, on and off the pitch, that he picked up this injury to his knee when courageously trying to win the ball back for his team by making a tackle.

"But it is this same personality that means he will come back as good and as strong from this latest setback as he has done in the past.

"I'm told the likely lay off is anywhere from between seven to nine months. He is mentally strong, physically strong and will have the very best treatment and rehab possible to make sure when he returns he is ready to play for us at the level we know he is capable of."

Well thats ****.

Absolutely gutted for the lad. Terrible run of luck for him.

[Pablo]

****ing hell. Poor lad. Klopp won't give up on him, but you'd have to suspect that's his career at the top level over with.

[Slinky Skills]

Jesus Christ! Gutted for Ings.

[Yozza]

Ffs....

[calvoboy]

Awful luck - it'll be tough to come back from having most of two years out, hope he's able to recover.

[Darkon]

What a shame, really think he would fit the Klopp system very well if back in match fitness. Hopefully he will recover, knee injuries this early in the carreer can be really though to overcome.

[poorscousertommy]

Poor lad. That's two horrific injuries to have to recover from.

[Daniel 7]

Ronaldo did both knees, so you never know, he might end up becoming the World Cup's all time leading goalscorer yet.

Terrible, terrible luck for him, poor fella.

****ing hell that's terrible news. At least we have three very good strikers to call upon.

**** sake

We don't really. But we are not stuck through Ings being injured as he was nowhere near the first team picture with all the other attacking options that we have spread throughout the team.


Sturridge we know is a very good striker. But for whatever reason he is not quite gelling to date this season and not a nailed on starter as a result.


Bobby F if he has a season like his second to last season in the Bundesliga can be one. And I have a feeling that he will finish the season with 15+ league goals to his name.


Origi has talent but is nowhere near the very good striker level yet (although I really hope he gets there)



What we do have this season, or rather what we do look like having, is a team that does not have to rely on one or two very good strikers in order to get goals. We have our goals being spread around the other attacking positions with no real stand out go to guy for our goals.
