Liverpool’s injury list is far too large for what anyone attached to the club would want to see and Jurgen Klopp has provided an update on Joel Matip’s absence from the squad.
Speaking with the media (via This is Anfield), the 55-year-old said: “Joel now, that was strange as well
“How it happened, didn’t feel anything in training, walked in then said ‘yeah, there is something’ and then out for, I don’t know, three weeks, four weeks, whatever.”
It’s not great to hear that our No.32 is set to be sidelined for that amount of time and perhaps even more worrying that this injury occurred without any contact with anyone else.
These type of injuries can be the most worrying and can see players missing from action for several weeks at least, given the injury record of the defender too – that makes this all the more worrying.
It’s nice to be able to have a time frame for an injury though, with many of the players currently on the treatment table still not being revealed as to how long they will be out for.

Let’s hope that the injury list doesn’t continue to grow from this time of the year and that we can be back to a full squad again soon.
When the list shrinks, let’s hope that brings with it some better results on the pitch and that we can start picking up consistent victories once again.
