Jurgen Klopp issues update as Liverpool FC hit by injury blows in win over Brentford
17.02.2024 - 16:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp issued an update after two of his players, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, were injured during their match against Brentford. The team won 4-1, but both Jones and Jota had to leave the pitch in the first half and were later seen using crutches.

Klopp said: "We will have to see how much it costs us," and added that they don't know how bad the injuries are yet.

"Darwin, we took off because he said he feels something a little. Today that was enough to immediately push the brake and that's what we did."
"We took him off, brought on Cody and that worked really well. That's not great. We can talk about that part of the game, that's really not good but we cannot change that anymore."
