Klopp plays down injury fears for Liverpool defenders Toure, Skrtel

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has played down injury worries for centre-backs Kolo Toure and Martin Skrtel.

Toure limped out of Sunday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth, but Klopp has confirmed that it was only a cramp which bothered the Ivory Coast veteran.

However, Skrtel continues to recover from the groin injury which kept him out of the game at Vitality Stadium but it has not been deemed severe by Klopp.

"In the game against Bournemouth, I think - and what I have heard so far is - it was cramp with Kolo," Klopp told journalists at in his pre-match conference for Wednesday's clash against Everton.

"Before the [Bournemouth] game, Martin Skrtel had a little groin problem but with all the other things [players], there's nothing new."
