Joel Matip season comes to an end due to a foot injury

Liverpool have been handed a huge blow after Joel Matip has been ruled out for the the remainder of the season.

It's been gathered that the Cameroon international has sustained a foot injury.

The centre-back sustained the issue during the goalless draw with Everton at Goodison Park on June 21 as Liverpool restarted their campaign.

Matip will be absent from the newly-crowned champions’ remaining seven fixtures.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: “This season I will be not back on the pitch but for next season, I hope I’m going to be quite early a direct help for the team.”
