However, Liverpool lost Kostas Tsmickas to a broken bone in the clash. The Greece international went down clumsily after being tackled by Buyako Saka in the 33rd minute, knocking Klopp to the ground.

Tsimikas has been on the scene for longer. And for the matches against Burnley on Boxing Day and away to Newcastle United on New Year’s Day, Liverpool will be without their recognized main defender.

Andy Robertson is still recovering from a shoulder injury suffered last October and won’t be back until the New Year. In addition, centre-back Joel Matip is likely to be ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing cruciate ligament surgery earlier this month.

And Luis Diaz was sent off in the second game against Arsenal. Klopp wasn’t too worried about the full-back’s problems, but he wasn’t aware that he would be sidelined for a while.

Liverpool manager: “I hope not. “It was painful, the knee joint was hard up to the knee, we wanted two substitutions and Lucho was dropped.” “At first I wanted to wait and see if Lucho comes out, but now I don’t have to wait to see how Lucho is and that’s what I did then, so I decided to change all three.”Lucho told me it was ‘a bit rough’ and the doctors weren’t too concerned, but we’ve got a match in three days and you never know how fast the recovery will be, so we’ll have to wait and see.” I do not know”.

Meanwhile, Alexis Mac Allister (cut) and Diogo Jota (hamstring) are on the treatment table, but Klopp admitted the pair are “getting closer” ahead of the Arsenal game. Thiago Alcantara (thigh) and Stefan Bajcetic (calf) are ruled out, while young winger Ben Doeck recently picked up a long-term knee injury.
