Numerically there is plenty there. We'll go "worst case scenario" with Elliott and say he doesn't play again this season. That's still 7 players for 3 spots, with the possibility of (absolute) "emergency" options such as going 4-2-4 or using Minamino or Firmino as a midfielder.
The issue we might have (given we have a few players prone to niggles) is if we find ourselves in situations where Thiago, Keita and Ox are all simultaneously unavailable for 3-6 weeks during the Champion's League knock-out stages or the Christmas period. Hopefully it doesn't come to that - I certainly don't think we should be sitting here feeling we need a ninth midfielder for example.
