Jurgen Klopp has insisted it is “too early” to judge whether Adam Lallana’s latest injury will jeopardise his World Cup hopes.
Lallana was carried off on a stretcher just five minutes after joining the fray as a second-half substitute in Liverpool’s 2-1 Premier League win at Crystal Palace.
“It’s absolutely bad, but we don’t know exactly what it is yet. In the first moments I saw him it looked really serious to be honest. It looks like something with the muscle.
“He’s our friend, our boy, our mate, our player, having a difficult season already.
“Maybe one of the biggest achievements of that team is that they could play a season so far like they have played without Adam Lallana. I never would have thought it’s possible.
“And so we are all desperately waiting for him, and now coming step by step back, and now this — it’s a big, big blow for us.”
