‘Have to see’ - Jurgen Klopp provides injury update after Liverpool suffer issue in Everton draw

Jurgen Klopp is hopeful Fabio Carvalho won’t be unavailable for a period after being forced off injured in Liverpool’s goalless draw against Everton.

The Reds had to settle for a point in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Both sides had their chances, with Liverpool striking the woodwork three times and Toffees keeper Jordan Pickford making several excellent saves.

But it ended all square with the Reds now dropping points in four of their six Premier League games this season.

In addition, Carvalho - who made his full Liverpool debut - was forced off at half-time with a knee problem and was replaced by Roberto Firmino.

The Reds begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday when they face Napoli.

Klopp revealed Carvalho’s issue will now be assessed.

“It’s not bad,” said the Liverpool boss.

“I think it is extremely painful, it is a dead leg on the muscle above the knee and he couldn’t bend the knee anymore. When this muscle swells up, there is no space for anything else.

“We have to now see how quickly that will settle. You could see he tried, but you could see he couldn’t run properly. We just waited for half-time and then made the change with Bobby.”
