Following Liverpool’s victory over Brentford, manager Jurgen Klopp updates the team’s injury list.
After Liverpool FC defeated Brentford 4-1, Jurgen Klopp spoke about his worries regarding the seriousness of the injuries that Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota had incurred during the game.
Liverpool’s concerns were exacerbated when both players were forced off the field in the first half. Darwin Nunez also left the game early, but he did so out of prudence after taking a small knock.
Curtis Jones was knocked to the bottom portion of his shin, above the ankle, according to Klopp, who gave details about the injury. Jones was determined to play on, but his inability to do so demonstrated how bad the injury was. Jones was spotted exiting the stadium on crutches, which is a common safety precaution for such injuries, according to Klopp.
For Liverpool, Curtis Jones is an essential player, and it will be difficult to take his place in the middle.
Using ECHO, Klopp stated the following about the three players:
Curtis received a hit to the area above his ankle on his lower shin. We’ll investigate further. He wasn’t quite sure, but that’s how he felt. Curtis would have played on at all costs, thus the fact that he is unable to do so indicates that something is wrong.
Yes, he uses crutches, but that’s common. I don’t have time, therefore I haven’t talked to him. I’m escorted around the stadium for interviews!
“How it changed in the second half is beyond me. I saw him at halftime, and we got along okay, but I have no idea what transpired after that.
I think Diego has the worst appearance. Though I wasn’t there to witness it, I had heard the photos weren’t very good. There is something we need to observe.
Darwin indicated he felt something a little, so we took off. Today, it was sufficient to use the brake right away, so we did just that.
Additional injuries
With reference to Diogo Jota, Klopp was even more concerned, saying that the attacker from Portugal looked to have the most serious injury. Following a collision with Christian Norgaard of Brentford, Jota was taken off the field on a stretcher, and preliminary reports implied that the situation did not appear promising. While acknowledging the gravity of the situation, Klopp said he hadn’t had a chance to watch the video.
Darwin, on the other hand, stated that his substitution was a prophylactic action because he felt uncomfortable. Klopp stressed how crucial it is to put player safety first, particularly when handling possible injuries.
Due to the lack of clarity over the severity of Jones’ and Jota’s injuries, Klopp and Liverpool must wait anxiously for additional evaluations. While maintaining optimism, the management understood that before deciding whether or not the players would be available for upcoming games, caution and a proper diagnostic were necessary. We just cannot afford to have any more injury problems as we approach a very important turning point in the season, but we will have to accept it.
