Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that striker Divock Origi suffered a cramp in the 2-1 EFL Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.
The Belgian striker was forced to make way for Danny Ings in the 68th minute of the game but Klopp allayed fears of any injury problems.
Klopp confirmed: "Yes [it was cramp], unfortunately.
"He was in a good moment but then cramp. That's the problem when you don't have rhythm, which he obviously doesn't have, things like this happen. It was quite intense. We wasted energy.
"A lot of moments this season, the young boys wasted energy - they felt so good in this moment that they ran and created, but then they have to score.
"Unfortunately, we didn't, so that means it's only a waste of energy – a good sign, but it can cause you cramps and that's what we had."
