Minamino calf injury: Klopp explains how ‘excellent’ Taki coped v Wolves

Posted by

Takumi Minamino made his Premier League debut for us last night v Wolves, playing his part in the 2-1 win at Molineux.

Wolves were playing a high-intensity brand of football and it was definitely more of a challenge than the Anfield tie v Everton he played earlier in the month.

He was largely neat and tidy, but after hearing Jurgen Klopp’s post-match comments, we’re actually more impressed with the performance – as the Japanese played the second-half with an injury to his calf.

David Lynch of the Standard tweeted the quotes last night:

Now, we just hope Minamino will be ok for the FA Cup 4th Round tie with Shrewsbury, which he would have been a certainty to start otherwise…

Klopp will shuffle his pack to make sure everyone is ready for West Ham next Wednesday – with the likes of Divock Origi, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott all expected to play from the outset.
