Dejan Lovren caused quite the stir when he described himself as one of the best defenders in the world after Croatia reached the World Cup final.

It seems, though, that not many Liverpool fans agree as they are hopeful that he does not come back into Jurgen Klopp’s team.

The centre-back made his first appearance of the season on Wednesday night after recovering from a pelvic injury.

Lovren partnered Joel Matip at the back during an EFL Cup third-round tie against Chelsea, who ended up winning the fixture 2-1.

It was the first defeat experienced by the Reds this season, and they will be taking on the Blues again this Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

Virgil van Dijk is a doubt for the away trip due to a rib injury, which means that Klopp may have to rejig the back line.

We asked you if Lovren should be brought into the first XI, but it seems that the majority of fans polled would rather he stayed on the sidelines.
