Jurgen Klopp provided an update on the conditions of Darwin Nunez, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota after Liverpool’s 4-1 victory at Brentford in the Premier League.
Unfortunately, all three players sustained knocks during the match at Gtech Community Stadium, leading to their premature exits. Jones and Jota were both substituted off in the first half, while Nunez was replaced during the interval.
The extent of their injuries is yet to be determined, and they will undergo further assessment with the club’s medical team. Klopp’s update suggests that the full extent of their injuries will be clarified after thorough evaluation.
The German told his post-match press conference: “We have to see how much it costs us – we don’t know that yet.
“Curtis got a knock on the lower part of his shin, or above the ankle. We will see what that means. It was what he felt, but he was not 100 per cent sure. That Curtis cannot play on tells you that it must be something because he would have played on at all costs.
“Diogo looks probably the worst; I didn’t see it back but I heard the pictures didn’t look great as well, so we have to see there.
“Darwin, we took off because he felt really a little but that was obviously today enough to immediately push the break and that’s what we did, so we took him off and brought Cody on and that worked out really well.”
Asked if Jones was on crutches following the injury, Klopp replied: “Yes, but it’s normal. I didn’t speak to him [yet], I don’t have time because I more or less get carried around here in the stadium to have interviews and stuff like this.
“I don’t know how it developed during the second half because I saw him at half-time when it was alright-ish, but I don’t know what happened since then.”
