Liverpool lose 2 key players in Man City clash
Liverpool may have fought valiantly to avoid defeat at the Etihad to Manchester City, but they may have done so at a cost as two key players could be out for the Reds’ remaining league fixtures.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed apprehension in his post-match press conference regarding the injuries picked up by Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota during their recent game.
“The shadow on this game is obviously that Ali felt something and Diogo felt something – something we have to assess and then we will see,” Klopp shared, shedding light on the unforeseen setbacks faced by the players.
Addressing Alisson’s condition specifically, Klopp stated, “I hope it’s not that serious, but I don’t have the answer – no clue in the moment what it is. I spoke to him and he said he only felt [it] a little bit, but we have to wait for the scan.”
The uncertainty surrounding the extent of the injuries casts a cloud of concern over the Liverpool camp, with Klopp’s comments indicating a need for thorough evaluation before determining the severity of the issues encountered by the goalkeeper and forward.
The team awaits further assessments and scans to ascertain the nature and potential impact of these injuries on the players, leaving a level of uncertainty around their availability for upcoming fixtures.
