5 problems Liverpool must battle before next season

2. Fitness Issues

Liverpool have suffered due to fitness issues in the past. Lucas is a case in point as his absence dented Liverpool significantly and his return lead to a marked improvement. The current squad has elements that are particularly vulnerable to injury. Daniel Sturridge has already suffered one and his role in pre-season preparations is likely to be compromised. Fabio Borini has missed most of his first season at Liverpool with an injury, as a result of which Liverpool fans don’t know much of the player. Steven Gerrard answered his critics with an injury-free season, but he is now undergoing treatment and will have to be kept under constant surveillance.
