“Maybe, maybe one player, but I think Munich is a little bit too short,” said the boss, when asked in his post-match press conference about the possibility of his squad being bolstered for our trip to Munich.

“But I think, when we go to Burnley in the week after, I think players will return, yes.”

The Reds were beaten 3-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion on our return to Premier League action, following the international break, and Ten Hag knows we will face another difficult test in Germany.

“Absolutely, Bayern Munich I think is one of the favourites to win the Champions League so we have to be good there,” he continued.
“But I think I have already explained what we need there – we need character, belief, resilience, determination, absolutely.”
