Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that centre-back Dejan Lovren may miss out on Sunday’s crucial match against Manchester United.
Liverpool started without both Virgil van Dijk and Lovren in last night’s match against Bayern Munich at Anfield. Instead, Joel Matip and Fabinho were the starting centre-backs.
Dejan Lovren suffered a hamstring injury during the early minutes of Liverpool’s FA Cup defeat to Wolves and hasn’t played a single match for Liverpool since then. Earlier, it looked like Liverpool tried to get Lovren fit for the match against Bayern Munich. However, now Klopp has confirmed that the Croat will miss Sunday’s match.
Klopp said, “There was not a real doubt, to be honest. It was not mind games but Dejan had no chance for the game today actually, I don’t think he even has a chance for the next game. He will take his time. It was clear Fabinho and Joel have to play tonight, so we trained it – we tried everything – and now hopefully the boys are ready.”
