Lucas exit blocked by Klopp

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp will not allow Lucas to leave the club until he has more defensive options available to him.

Mamadou Sakho, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are all carrying injuries and although Lucas himself has an injury, he should be available for selection within the next fortnight.

Galatasaray want the 29-year-old Brazilian but it is unlikely that he will join them until later in the transfer window should they maintain their interest.
