Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas's broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson

Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas’s broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson on the long-term injured list.

Tsimikas suffered a fall during Saturday’s 1-1 tie with Arsenal, and it is anticipated that he will be out for at least six weeks.

During the match at Anfield, the Greek player was rushed straight to the hospital. In his press conference following the game, Jurgen Klopp stated that the player had “at least” a broken collarbone.

It comes at a terrible time because Robertson cannot yet resume contact training following surgery in October to address a major shoulder ailment.

Joe Gomez is set to assume the role of starting left-back, with Luke Chambers, 19, and Calum Scanlon, 18, serving as backups.

Though Robertson should be back in training by next month, Liverpool does have another alternative to think about as they prepare for a stretch without both him and Tsimikas.

The club’s contract with Dundee has a clause that permits Wales left-back Owen Beck to be recalled in January, according to the Courier.

Earlier this week, manager Tony Docherty clarified, “We are still in talks right now.” “They and we are both happy.”

Docherty was speaking prior to Tsimikas’s injury, which could complicate matters because Liverpool’s top concern is to make sure they have enough cover.

Although Beck, 21, is currently recovering from a groyne injury, he participated in the entire 90 minutes of last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Ross County and was anticipated to feature in Saturday’s postponed match against Aberdeen.

Docherty says he would just need to “put the reins on him a wee bit,” thus the scenario is one that can be handled.

The manager clarified, “He is that kind of guy that he is all in whether it is a gym session, a 90-minute game, or a training session.

It is evidence of his excellent performance. He gives everything he has to everything he does.

Sometimes you have to take a little bit of the reins when it comes to his training load.

“You need to keep in mind how much football he has played. He has had a fantastic season, but occasionally you have to give him a little more guidance.

In the Scottish Premiership this season, Beck has started all bar one of Dundee’s games. In the League Cup, he has started all four of his games and played the whole ninety minutes in each.

Although it is likely that Liverpool will feel that his growth is best served out on loan, Tsimikas and Robertson’s injuries may force their hand.

Liverpool adviced as one to watch for top Arsenal transfer target

Kenan Yildiz

In the transfer war for Juventus youngster and alleged Arsenal target Kenan Yildiz, Liverpool is apparently one team to monitor.

Arsenal is reportedly interested in the highly-rated teenage Turkey international, according to reports from the Italian publication Calciomercato, but it appears that the Gunners are not the only team after the player.

According to the most recent report from Corriere dello Sport, which Sport Witness reported and translated, Liverpool appears to be a firm fan of Yildiz as well, and Juventus should be wary of the Reds’ attempts to sign the uneasy 18-year-old.

In order to replace Mohamed Salah in the long run, Liverpool would be wise to acquire a top young attacking player such as this one, given players like Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have not had the best luck with injuries lately.

In the meanwhile, Arsenal would be well to bolster their offensive depth as well, since it seems likely that a major loss to Gabriel Martinelli or Bukayo Saka would spell difficulty for them
