Liverpool boss Klopp upbeat over Coutinho injury result

Liverpool enjoyed a late 2-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday.

However, there is concern over Philippe Coutinho's ankle injury.

The Brazil international was caught by Didier Ndong's follow-through half an hour into the game and later left Anfield on crutches with his right foot in a protective boot but he will not be able to be scanned until Sunday at the earliest.

"We have to wait for the scan. What we know it is something with the ankle," said manager Jurgen Klopp.

"He had pain. Pain gets better. In the first moment it was very painful but at half-time he said it was better.

"I am quite an optimistic guy so I hope he can train tomorrow."
