Jurgen Klopp shares injury updates of Diogo Jota, Nunez and Jones after Liverpool's win over Brentford
In a commanding 4-1 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Stadium, Liverpool showcased their prowess in the Premier League on Saturday. However, post-match, Manager Jurgen Klopp provided insights into the team's injury concerns.
Mohamed Salah marked his return from injury with a goal, while Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo also contributed to the score sheet. Despite this success, Klopp expressed dissatisfaction with the injuries incurred during the game.
Liverpool faced setbacks as Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota both exited the field with injuries in the first half. Jones, leaving the stadium on crutches due to an ankle injury, and Jota, carried off on a stretcher, raised concerns for Klopp.
Regarding the injuries, Klopp stated, "We have to see how [bad]. We don’t know that yet. The fact Curtis cannot play on tells you it must be something because he would have played on at all costs." He further added, "Diogo looks worse. I didn’t see it back, but I heard the pictures didn’t look great. We have to see there."
The injury woes continued as Nunez was withdrawn with a knock after scoring. Klopp explained, "Darwin we took off because he said he felt a little something but it was enough for us to push the break, so we took him off."
Despite the challenges, Klopp commended the team's resilience, stating, "The performance level could have dropped (after the injuries), but it was the other way around. We played an exceptional game, by far the best game we’ve played at Brentford."
Liverpool now leads the Premier League standings, showcasing their ability to overcome adversity on the pitch.
