Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, is weighing up his options in order to cope with the club’s current squad crisis.
After having seen his strikers fail to score goals, with Luis Suarez standing as a lone exception, the Northern Irishman’s troubles upfront only got worse during the international break.
Newly signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163 fractured his foot while on duty for his country. The 21-year old underwent a surgery, with his medics ruling him out of action for the next three months.
The Italian’s injury coupled with the acute dearth of forwards in the squad has left Rodgers to ponder his attacking options till the January transfer window.
The former Swansea City boss has already blooded in scores of academy players in order to meet his requirements. It seems that he will have to assign them with a more important role, till the club tends to their problem of shortage of attackers in the January
window.
When asked how he plans on dealing with Borini’s absence, Rodgers revealed that he will look to utilize the youngsters to fill in his void.
However, the manager admitted that he will need to use them wisely, but was confident that they will be able to stem the tide.
“Adam Morgan scored a couple of excellent goals for the reserves and Samed Yesil is a goalscorer. It is just a case of weighing up whether they come in or not,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“Not every young player can play. This is an unforgiving league and my http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 is to nurture the talent and not destroy it.”
“We have other players so that we may be able to have some flexibility within the team to cover for Borini.”
Apart from Luis Suarez, none of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s strikers have managed to get on the score sheet in the seven league matches that they have played so far.
With the Reds set to host Reading on Saturday, Rodgers is likely to start with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oussama-Assaidi-c28900 as Borini’s replacement, while Samed Yesil could appear in the bench.
Jerome Sinclair and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-c9867 Pacheco remain to be the other options for the manager in the frontline.
