The January window is still far away. We've got months until Richard Hughes can get to work again. It's moot whether he will make a move.
Injuries could force his hand. There's a question mark already whether Liverpool might enter the transfer market given Giovanni Leoni's injury with the Italian unlikely to play again this season after an ACL injury.
The Reds obviously missed out on Marc Guehi on the final day of the window, so they were already a centre-back short than they would have preferred heading into the rest of the campaign.

January is going to be an opportunity for Hughes to perhaps accelerate a move for Guehi or make another signing.
However, it could also lead to Liverpool letting go of one of their own stars and their longest serving player in Joe Gomez.
The England international has been at the club since the Brendan Rodgers era. He's spent a decade at Liverpool but he was close to leaving in the summer window.
AC Milan made a late attempt to sign him on the final day of a hectic conclusion to the transfer deadline. In the end, Milan opted to pull out of the deal with Gomez not having enough time to complete his medical.
In hindsight, that ended-up being a blessing for Liverpool given what happened with Guehi and Leoni's injury.
But that doesn't mean Milan have given up in their pursuit of Gomez. In fact the Italian giants still desperately need centre-back reinforcements and they are ready to return for him.
According to MilanLive.it the club's sporting director Igli Tare is already making further steps to secure the services of Gomez and has recently made contact with Liverpool over a potential move in January.
The report claims that everything hinges on Liverpool's pursuit of Guehi, who the Reds are expected to return for in January. If they can get that deal over the line, the report claims Milan could sign Gomez for as little as €7m.
That seems like a really low figure for a centre-back of Gomez's ilk and it feels difficult to believe Liverpool would agree to that.
Nonetheless, the possibility of Gomez leaving definitely still remains.
It's a World Cup year, he'll be wanting to play regularly, and if Guehi or another centre-back comes to Liverpool in January, his chances of playing will be severely restricted.
Even now, he's not been getting a lot of playing time. So, his future is definitely something to keep an eye on.
