Klopp provides worrying Thiago Alcantara injury update

Klopp provides worrying Thiago Alcantara injury update

Premier League
Thiago Alcantara is still a few weeks away from a return to action after the knee injury he sustained in the Merseyside derby in October, says Jurgen Klopp. Thiago has not played since he was caught by a poor challenge from Richarlison in the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park - a match which also saw Van Dijk sustain anterior cruciate ligament damage. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Liverpool initially confirmed that Thiago had avoided a serious injury but the severity of the collision continues to keep the Spainish midfielder out ahead of the busy December schedule. "On that day when he got injured in that bad challenge in the Everton game, there was another bad injury and after the scan there was good news and really bad news," Klopp said. "[With Thiago] not...

Klopp launches rant on BT Sport & blames the broadcaster for Milner’s injury

Premier League
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has blasted British broadcasters yet again after James Milner limped off with a hamstring injury in their 1-1 draw with Brighton on Saturday. Before the game, Klopp said it was a "waste of time" attempting to persuade the football authorities and broadcast rights holders to review the games schedule after the Reds played early on Saturday after their Champions League defeat to Atalanta on Wednesday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); When quizzed by BT Sport whether Milner suffered a hamstring injury, Klopp said: "Yeah, congratulations. Hamstring. Surprise. And they had injuries as well because it's a tough time." "I'm not having a go at the broadcasters, I just say how it is. 12:30 [p.m. GMT] after Wednesday is really dangerous f...
Klopp explains what worried him most in Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Atalanta

Klopp explains what worried him most in Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Atalanta

Premier League
Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp will have plenty of reasons to be disappointed after their Champions League defeat to Atalanta. The Premier League club thrashed Atalanta 5-0 in their recent away match, but were far from at their best as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Wednesday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Suprisingly, Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target against Atalanta, which must be very rare, with players like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane so often blowing teams away with their quality in attack. The Reds boss will be keen to change things after this hugely disappointing performance, as he spoke after the match about the lack of efforts on goal. Klopp highlighted this as a concern for his team as he suggested he will ...

The former Borussia Dortmund manager says Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal all have a chance to win the title. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Liverpool have started their title defence well and will be level on points with Tottenham at the top of the table if they get a win against Leicester City later today. After hearing the news Pep Guardiola had signed a new two-year deal at Manchester City, Klopp said he thinks there will be several challengers for the league this campaign and in years to come. Among them are Frank Lampard's Chelsea who have started...

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After Manchester United’s 3-1 victory at Goodison Park, a furious Solskjaer said: ‘The kick-off time set us up to fail. ‘We have been to Turkey, played loads of games this season already, we got back Thursday morning and we are playing Saturday lunchtime, it’s an absolute shambles.’ Responding to Solskjaer’s comments, Klopp said no club should have that short a turnaround and said he had contacted the Premier Leagu...

Jurgen Klopp confirms length of Fabinho injury lay-off

Premier League
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Fabinho will not be part of the squad for Saturday’s game against West Ham because of a hamstring injury. The Brazilian star limped off in the first half of Liverpool's Champions League victory against Midtjylland on Tuesday and had to be replaced by 19-year-old Rhys Williams. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Fabinho had been called on to fill in for Van Dijk in defence after he was ruled out with a knee ligament injury, but Klopp will have to make changes to his back line for the upcoming game at Anfield. “Fab is not in, that's clear,” Klopp told reporters. “He got a little injury and so he will be out for the weekend and probably slightly longer.

Premier League
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Fabinho will need to have a scan on the hamstring injury he suffered in their 2-0 victory over Midtjylland – but says the player felt he could have continued playing at Anfield. Goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah ensured Liverpool’s hundred percent record in the Champions League remained intact this campaign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Fabinho has been outstanding for Liverpool in the absence of Virgil van Dijk but pulled up in the 28th minute and appeared to be in pain as he received treatment on the pitch. The Brazilian star was escorted off the pitch by the club’s medical staff and academy product Rhys Williams produced a good performance after coming on to replace Fabinho. Liverpool will take on Premier L...

Jurgen Klopp criticises Liverpool stars after Sheffield United win

Premier League
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has taken a pop at the club's forwards despite his team beating Sheffield United 2-1 on Saturday. The Reds went second in the Premier League table after having a comeback victory against the Blades. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Klopp was still far from impressed with his strikeforce, lamenting a lack of balance. He said: “We were a bit too hectic at the start. We had four offensive players on the pitch but all offered the same option. “But I love half time. The second half started good and for 20 to 25 minutes we were really good. We could have scored more and then they came back. “We had to dig deep but the boys did. It’s nice to win 2-0 or 3-0 every game but that only happens if, in games like this, we are read...
