Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius insists Philippe Coutinho's injury won't derail their campaign.
Karius admits it's a blow but he believes Jurgen Klopp's squad is strong enough to cope with the absence of Coutinho at a crucial stage of the campaign. Divock Origi came off the bench to make a vital contribution with the opening goal in Saturday's win over Sunderland.
"Of course it's not nice to see your team-mate and so great a player go off injured like that," Karius told the Liverpool Echo "In the game you can't worry too much about it because we needed to carry on. I'm sure he wanted us to play well and win the game. After the game everyone was asking how he was. We have to wait and see what the doctor says.
"It's hard to say at the moment how long he will be out. He has obviously done something but we are all hoping for the best.
"We change a good player out and we still have high quality coming in. That's a very good sign.
"Everyone is confident that when we have to change a player, the player coming on keeps the level or even lifts it so that's a really good thing for us."
