Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker’s injuries have cast a shadow over their 1-1 draw at Manchester City. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, both players will have to be accessed as soon as possible, so the club can determine if their injuries will keep them out for long or not.
Klopp added that it is not cool to be potentially faced with having 2 important players out for a while.
His words, “The shadow on this game is obviously that Ali[sson] felt something and Diogo [Jota] felt something – something we have to assess and then we will see. That’s not cool.”
“I hope it’s not that serious, but I don’t have the answer – no clue in the moment what it is. I spoke to him and he said he only felt [it] a little bit, but we have to wait for the scan.”
WOW.
Jurgen Klopp is a German professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Premier League club Liverpool. He is widely regarded as one of the best football managers in the world.
Jürgen Norbert Klopp was born on 16 June 1967 in Stuttgart, the state capital of Baden-Württemberg, to Elisabeth and Norbert Klopp, a travelling salesman and a former goalkeeper. Klopp grew up in the countryside in the Black Forest village of Glatten near Freudenstadt with two older sisters.
He started playing for local club SV Glatten and later TuS Ergenzingen as a junior player, with the next stint at 1. FC Pforzheim and then at three Frankfurt clubs, Eintracht Frankfurt II, Viktoria Sindlingen and Rot-Weiss Frankfurt during his adolescence.
Introduced to football through his father, Klopp was a supporter of VfB Stuttgart in his youth. As a young boy, Klopp aspired to become a doctor, but he did not believe he “was ever smart enough for a medical career”, saying “when they were handing out our A-Level certificates, my headmaster said to me, ‘I hope it works out with football, otherwise it’s not looking too good for you'”.
