Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has shed light on why Wataru Endo has hardly been involved since his transfer to the club from Stuttgart.<\/p>\n

Despite his lack of minutes, Klopp says the Japan international will be a crucial player for the Reds going forward. Endo is one of four midfielders that Liverpool signed during the summer transfer window following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.<\/p>\n

While fellow new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been regular starters – and Ryan Gravenberch is gradually adapting to his new surroundings – Endo has only played 91 minutes in the Premier League since joining Liverpool in August.<\/p>\n

After the Reds' 3-1 victory over West Ham on Sunday, where Endo made a late appearance off the bench in the 88th minute, Klopp explained that the 30-year-old is still adjusting to life at Anfield. The Liverpool boss even admitted Endo's calm and polite nature had initially hindered his integration into the side, saying that it "cost him the first two weeks."<\/p>\n

Klopp said: "He needs to get used to the things here. Wataru is a super guy, very calm and very polite and that cost him the first two weeks, maybe. That's now getting there. He is not 30 or whatever and wants to get some people out of the way to get into the team, but he is improving every day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"You saw that today, he is there, he will help us a lot, he will play games, he will start games and all these kinds of things. It's all good, he had already three or four games now for us in a very short period. That is what counts, it is not a short-term project. Wataru is a super-important part of the squad and I am really happy to have him."<\/p>\n

Liverpool have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, drawing their first Premier League match against Chelsea before securing victories against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Wolves and West Ham. The Reds began their Europa League campaign with a comeback win against LASK.<\/p>\n

Klopp, meanwhile, is delighted with the 'crazy' depth and options available in his new-look Liverpool squad. "I love the squad and I love the depth," he said (via the Mirror). "For a squad still without Thiago (Alcantara), no Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and no Conor Bradley, we can still change 11 names. <\/p>\n

"It's absolutely crazy. If we have luck – and by luck I mean everyone stays healthy – and we have 23 players like this at this level, we can react in all the games and should always have a really good team on the pitch. I like that a lot."<\/p>\n
