Premier League, Bundesliga

Loris Karius has hit back at fans who mocked him for making another series of mistakes in Liverpool’s pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund. Jurgen Klopp’s side took the lead in North Carolina through Virgil van Dijk but eventually suffered a 3-1 defeat against their Bundesliga opponents.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The first mistake came after just four minutes as Karius came racing from his area but his poor clearance fell straight to Maximilian Philipp, whose shot towards an empty goal from 40 yards could not hit the target.

Premier League

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says it's "strange" that Liverpool goalie Loris Karius has been diagnosed with a concussion after playing the full minutes of the Champions League final. Karius made two big mistakes that resulted in goals as Real Madrid defeated the Reds 3-1, and a hospital assessment revealed on Monday that the goalkeeper had suffered a concussion in the game. But Courtois talked about his own experience with a concussion suffered in October 2014 against Arsenal which leads him to question how Karius could continue playing if he was really concussed.
