Liverpool boss Klopp eases injury fears for Lovren

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has eased fears around an injury to Dejan Lovren suffered during victory over Bournemouth.

Just before the break as the defender limped off after receiving treatment with Trent Alexander-Arnold coming on in his place and Joe Gomez switching to centre-back.

“As always we don't know exactly but it doesn't look serious," Klopp said. “It looks like a little cramp. That's what I think at the moment but I don't know 100 percent.

“He felt something, he told us. He wanted to get through to half time, receive treatment and carry on but we said no and stopped it there.

“That's the status quo when you have these kind of things in this moment of the season.

“It's similar to Gini and Lallana as it's not serious but serious to keep them out so now we have two days to make sure they can go again."
