After the nasty injury to Skrtel the latest news is that despite concussion and some nasty bruising – the pitch will make a full recovery

Swedish commentator just said Skrtel is still at Anfield, not gone to the hospital. Good news.

Skrtel presumably wanted to play the rest of the game attached to a gurney but think he’s safer off the pitch.

When Martin Skrtel stays down for that long, you know it’s a serious injury. Hope he’s OK.

Paul McCartney-esque double thumbs aloft from Skrtel as he’s stretchered off. Good. Looked a bad fall.

Skrtel wants to carry on with a neck brace on. Hard as nails.

I was extremely scared, but then Skrtel ripped off the head restraint and asked Rodgers why the hell he can’t continue.

Tough to see Skrtel carried off the field…he’s a warrior. #LFC
