Sunday, Liverpool took the scalp of Fulham after a completely crazy match (4-3) at Anfield. Trailing 3 minutes from the end of regulation time, the Reds turned the game around by scoring in quick succession to take the three points and keep pace at the top of the Premier League standings (2nd, 5 points behind Arsenal but with a match in hand). But this characterful victory left its mark in the ranks of the Mersey club.

In the 69th minute, Joël Matip was forced to leave his partners and be replaced by Ibrahima Konaté. Asked about the state of health of the Cameroonian on the sidelines of the opposition against Sheffield United, his coach Jürgen Klopp showed concern. “When the doctor comes in and says, ‘It doesn’t look great but we have to wait for the scans’ and the scan isn’t there yet… You can imagine it doesn’t look great. It’s never good news. I’ve never had that in all my years where someone says, ‘Oh my God, that’s completely wrong and there’s nothing wrong, he can play tomorrow.’ This doesn’t happen.”, certified the German coach in front of the press. According to the latest rumors, the 32-year-old defender is injured in knee ligaments and could therefore miss several months of competition.
