Ozan Kabak’s chances of making his Liverpool debut increased after stand-in centre-back Fabinho was ruled out with injury, and manager Jurgen Klopp is confident the youngster will cope.

The 20-year-old Turkey international arrived on loan on deadline day to bolster a defence which has been playing midfielders Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, with Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip ruled out for the season.

Ideally Klopp would have paired Kabak with Fabinho, as the more experienced of the two makeshift centre-backs, but that is not an option at Leicester on Saturday.

“For a goalkeeper of the quality of Alisson Becker it is pretty rare he makes this kind of mistake and then he makes two of them in one game.

“Goalkeepers are used to making mistakes: they concede a goal and they know earlier than all the rest of the world ‘I should have saved it’ and they have to deal with it always.

“There was absolutely no real criticism from our side, from the players around him because everyone knows how good he is.

“He is a very calm person. Now the next game is coming up and that is good as he can play his normal level again and everything will be fine.”
