Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has joked that he is ready to return to professional football following another defensive injury blow suffered by Jurgen Klopp's reigning champions
Jamie Carragher is ready to come out of retirement to help Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp .
The 42-year-old, who called time on his career back in 2013 after making 737 club appearances, has joked that he will step up to cover for the injured Fabinho who had deputised for Virgil van Dijk .
The Brazilian pulled up during the first-half of their Champions League victory over Midtjylland at Anfield on Tuesday, prompting calls for Carragher to get his boots ready and return to Melwood the following day.
In response , he simply stated: "I'm here now!"
Carragher had previously questioned Liverpool's position on retaining the Premier League amid major injury setbacks.
He on told Sky Sports following the injury suffered by Van Dijk in the Merseyside derby : "The big question you're looking at now is, can Liverpool win the league without Van Dijk there?
“I think every team has three or four players in every title-winning team or a team who think they can win the title, and if one of those players is missing, no matter how good your manager is, no matter how big your squad is, you can't cover for them because they're outstanding.
