The manager has had rotten luck on the injury front with Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all ruled out until the end of the season.

Kabak was signed on loan from Schalke in January but has been given very little time to settle in as Klopp has run out of options at the back.

The defender became the first Turkey international to start a Champions League game for Liverpool in the process.

Kabak is likely to keep his place in the team when Liverpool take on rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby in the Premier League next.
