“Mentally prepared,” it appears that Jurgen Klopp will start the 27-year-old Liverpool player against Everton

The most recent news on X from Greek journalist Giannis Chorianopoulos this afternoon strongly implies that Kostas Tsimikas will be in the spotlight on Saturday.

The reporter revealed that the 27-year-old fullback is “mentally ready” to start in the Merseyside derby at left defense in lieu of the injured Andy Robertson.

During the international break, the former Hull City defender appeared to have had a terrible collision with Spain’s keeper Unai Simon, as evidenced by his frightening appearance in a sling.

It is understandable that supporters will be hoping for a speedy recovery for the Scot, since they worry that if surgery is needed for his shoulder, the 29-year-old may miss at least 10 weeks of action.

It’s important to keep in mind that Tsimikas is still a very good option for the foreseeable future despite that unsettling potential element.

It’s still unclear whether Jurgen Klopp would choose the obvious answer, since there have been rumors on the internet that Jarell Quansah could be moved out wide or Joe Gomez moved to the left wing.

Here at Empire of the Kop, we’re glad to support the German tactician’s decision, even if it means starting the Greek Scouser against our rivals in the city this coming weekend.
