"Very bad". Klopp revealed details of the team leader's terrible injury
The German coach of the English Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp, shared information about the injury of the team's defender Joel Matip.
It is reasonable to mention that the star football player was seriously injured in the game against Fulham (4:3) in the 14th round of the English Premier League. After the game, the club made a statement that the 32-year-old Cameroonian had injured his knee. Now, in a comment to the club press service, the team coach revealed the details.
"It's a torn cruciate ligament, so unfortunately it was expected from the start. It looked really bad," Klopp said.
According to the coach's expectations, Matip may miss the rest of the season.
By the way, Liverpool have already stated that they are not going to acquire a new defender to replace Matip during the winter transfer window.
Matip has made 14 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season, and his agreement with the club runs until the summer of 2024.
