Anyway, we thought we would enter the world of football in a broad and roundabout manner for you and have some fun with some of the stories and captions doing the daily rounds.***Karim Adeyemi hints at moveThe young German forward clearly 'likes' the idea of a move to Anfield having been reading a piece for the ECHO that stated Liverpool should explore the possibility of signing him.Adeyemi has been linked with a move and so regular Liverpool.com writer Andrew Beasley took a look into his stats, with the player 'liking' the tweet posted containing the link to the article.The 19-year-old had a good game by all accounts as Salzburg earned a 1-1 draw away at Sevilla in the Champions League last night, showing that he can step up to the top level as well as perform in Austria.Read MoreRelated ArticlesRead MoreRelated ArticlesAdeyemi's social media activity has not been limited to Twitter, either, with him also taking to Instagram to send a message to injured Harvey Elliott, writing: 'Get well soon bro'.Gini Wijnaldum speaks againNetherlands midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has been asked again about his departure from Liverpool and he has given an honest account of the events, admitting he would have liked to have stayed rather than signed for PSG."Several months ago, I had expressed the desire to stay in Liverpool but, without going into details, Liverpool did not give me the feeling of wanting to keep me," the Dutchman told LEquipe (via Goal). "In these cases, we have to move forward."Wijnaldum will likely explain further at the end of his career, but it appears that Liverpool simply did not want their midfield growing old together.They also knew they had Harvey Elliott waiting in the wings, though the teenager is now going to be missing for some time.AC Milan confirm injury blowLiverpool will take on the Serie A side this evening, but they will be without 39-year-old Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovi, who felt tightness in his Achilles earlier in the week.He did train with his teammates on Monday night, as the video above shows, but has since been ruled out of the game at Anfield by his coach, meaning Olivier Giroud is almost certain to start.Milan 'not on holiday'AC Milan have started this season with three consecutive victories in Serie A, including winning 2-0 against Lazio last weekend, so Liverpool already know they will have to be at it this evening to get the right result.Defender Simon Kjaer, though, has offered a reminder of that as he spoke ahead of the game."We need the same mentality. Liverpool are very strong, but in my opinion, we have grown both physically and mentally compared to the last game in Europe," Kjaer said.Read MoreRelated ArticlesRead MoreRelated Articles"It will be [a] difficult [game], but I know the coach and he wants us to go there and play for Milan.

I'm open to everything. The transfer market has just closed, but I want to keep as many options as I can open," he told Sky Sports."As long as I'm here I will give everything for the club. I've already done so, but I will do so even more. The contract situation is just something that is going on in football, it's a normal situation."There are talks going on I'm not saying I'm going to sign, I'm not saying I'm not going to sign.
