Klopp delivers update on Liverpool trio's injuries after Brentford win | OneFootball

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has provided an update on Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota and Darwin Núñez’s conditions.

The Premier League leaders temporarily moved five points clear at the summit after Saturday’s 4-1 dismantling of Brentford.

But Klopp saw Jones and Jota forced off before half-time while Núñez was replaced by Cody Gakpo during the interval at the Gtech Stadium.

“Curtis got a knock on the lower part of his shin, or above the ankle,” confirmed the Liverpool manager.

“We will see what that means. It was what he felt, but he was not 100 per cent sure.

“That Curtis cannot play on tells you that it must be something because he would have played on at all costs.

“Diogo looks probably the worst; I didn’t see it back but I heard the pictures didn’t look great as well, so we have to see there.

“Darwin, we took off because he felt really a little but that was obviously today enough to immediately push the break and that’s what we did, so we took him off and brought Cody on and that worked out really well.”

The Reds were already dealing with an injury crisis prior to Saturday’s game with Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold both sidelined earlier in the week.
