Matip's injury adds to Liverpool’s woes
The Cameroonian, who started the game at centre-back along with Jordan Henderson, was substituted at half-time due to an ankle injury.
Matip
was replaced by
Nat
Phillips
, who made his fourth Premier League appearance, at half-time. The 29-year-old was recently returned from injury in the surprise 1-0 defeat to
Burnley
.
However, Jurgen Klopp suggested it was not a serious problem, he told his post-match interview:
"That’s our situation at the moment. Actually, it was nothing really. He just felt something and we had to take him out and now he’s out. It was not a challenge or an intense situation or whatever, it was just how things happen."
Liverpool
will play an in-form West Ham side on Sunday, who started Thursday a point ahead of them in fourth place.
After playing the Hammers, the Reds will play Brighton at home before a string of high-stakes games against
Manchester
City
,
Leicester
,
RB
Leipzig
and
Everton
.
