Dejan Lovren and Philippe Coutinho sustainted hamstring injuries during tonight’s 1-0 League Cup win at Stoke City.
The duo were forced off before half-time to give Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp new headaches.
To make matters worse, stand-in centre-back Kolo Toure was left clutching the back of his right leg at full-time so he will also have to be assessed tomorrow.
Speaking after the game, Klopp said: “It’s a big, big shadow for us over the game that we cannot ignore – we have two injuries (Coutinho and Lovren) and I honestly don’t know how serious they are. They did not look too good and so we have to wait.
“It is like it is and we’ll have to see what we can do after this game. It’s a little bit of a strange feeling – on one side it’s very, very good because we won the game and played well, the players fought brilliantly.
“I was really angry a few days ago, but tonight I am proud because the reaction was great and it was such a difficult game in all parts. But, two injuries – that’s not good.”
He added: “Kolo played outstanding tonight and was really good for us, but we’ll see if he can play the next game.”
