The Athletic reveals a new injury in the ranks of Liverpool
The British newspaper "The Athletic" revealed a new injury within the ranks of the first team of football at Liverpool FC, hours after the victory over Sheffield United in the Premier League championship.
Liverpool succeeded in defeating Sheffield with two clean goals, to return the Reds to the tone of the victories they had missed in the English Premier League for 4 consecutive games.
But the famous newspaper has confirmed that there is a new injury in the ranks of Liverpool, which is the defender and newcomer, Ben Davis, who moved from Preston in the Mercato last winter.
Davis was on the bench in the Everton match in the Premier League championship, but yesterday he did not appear on the Liverpool list, and the newspaper reported that the Englishman suffered a minor injury that prevented him from being with the coach's squad, Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool did not specify a date for the return of Ben Davis from that injury, to join the player to the current injured in the team, which are Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Joe Gomez, Virgil Van Dyck and Joel Matip.
Klopp: We will not qualify for the Champions League without results
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp expressed his satisfaction after his team's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United on Sunday evening, in the 26th round of the English Premier League.
Before the Sheffield match, Liverpool suffered four consecutive defeats in the league, which kept it away from the title race, but the red team regained its composure, bringing this victory closer to the qualifying places for the Champions League competition next season.
"The plan was to continue working and do the same things again," Klopp said in statements to "Sky Sports":
"When we played the way we wanted, they could not deal with us."
He added:
"Sheffield lost a lot, but it defeats by small differences. It is clear that these matches remain exciting until the end. We could have scored 3 goals in the first half, what we created in chances was good, ending the chances was good enough today, but we can improve." ".
He continued,
"It is natural that we are subjected to criticism. People excluded us from their accounts. There is nothing wrong with that."
Regarding the performance of his young star, Curtis Jones, who opened the scoring in the match, Klopp said: "He is a high-class player, and for this he participates in the matches, he must engage in more scoring situations, as is the case everywhere, there is room for improvement."
Liverpool scored a second goal through its Brazilian striker Roberto Verminho, but was later awarded to the Sheffield United defender, who bounced the ball before settling in the net.
Klopp said:
"Score a goal, who cares? For me, the goal counts for him, if he is not in the statistics, I don't care. Winning is about proving that we are still here, we will play against Chelsea on Thursday, we have to show it again, we must win matches." And we know that, there is no way to qualify for the Champions League without results. Tonight we got the result, and we will continue to work. "
