Jurgen Klopp: We can handle loss of Philippe Coutinho

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists they can handle the absence of injured playmaker Philippe Coutinho, beginning against Leeds United tonight.

The Brazil damaged ankle ligaments in his right leg in Saturday’s win over Sunderland and could be out for as long as six weeks.

Klopp’s forward line has already been affected by the loss of Danny Ings to a season-ending knee injury, while Daniel Sturridge has a niggling calf problem.
