00:40solution has moved elsewhere. Decisions at the heart of defence once considered settled now look

00:45pressing again. Elsewhere Mohamed Salah's return from international duty brings renewed focus on

00:51his long-term future. With Federico Chiesa barely involved and uncertainty on the right flank,

00:57Liverpool may soon need to reinforce both wide areas and full-back positions.
