However, that's not the only reason Reds fans will be a little confused by reports coming out of Goal.com. Their Liverpool correspondent Melissa Reddy has suggested that Jurgen Klopp is open to a reunion with Borussia Dortmund's Mario Gotze.

The Germany international has suffered another serious injury having already had to delay his City debut until September, and it's come at an awful time with Fernandinho suspended. The former Borussia Dortmund star will be out for several months, something Pep Guardiola's side clearly felt it necessary to acknowledge before their game against Arsenal.
