I'd love to have your optimism Stan however you look through what we have as a squad
Henderson injury prone
Matip injury prone
Gomez injury prone
Keita injury prone
Ox injury prone
Shaqiri injury prone
Fabinho starting to boarder being injury prone
Thiago out, again don't know how long but was injury prone at Bayern - injury prone.
Alisson out for 2 months and has had spells out already for us - injury prone.
Now VVD out for God knows how long with an inury that's likely to beset him for the rest of his playing career if it is an ACL/MCL.
Add COVID into the mix and we are onto the last threads of our lucky underpants!
We just couldn't continue to be lucky with injuries of our best players, VVD didnt miss any game last season, so was expected. But as Stan said, all teams have injuries, we definitely benefited from Laporte's injury last season, up to us to show our worth and Klopp/Edward/FSG to show what was his plan if ever VVD was injured.
