At a time when the two teams are close at the top of the Premier League standings, Liverpool and Arsenal crossed swords at Anfield this Saturday. Quickly trailing, the Reds showed character to come back into the game at the last minute before missing the opportunity to kill the game in the second half when Trent Alexander-Arnold found David Raya’s crossbar. In addition to this frustrating result (1-1) which prevents Jürgen Klopp’s men from overtaking the Gunners in the standings, the Mersey club risks having to do without the services of Kostas Tsimikas at least for the next six weeks according to Sky Sports.
Struggling with Bukayo Saka, the Greek international was jostled by his English counterpart along the touchline before mowing down his own coach. Complaining about the shoulder, the number 21 of the Reds was unable to continue the match, replaced by Joe Gomez (35th). At the end of the meeting, Jürgen Klopp gave some less than reassuring news about his protégé. “He at least broke his collarbone, it’s really bad for us. I would gladly give my collarbone if it would help Kostas to be fit again.”, he regretted. At the microphone of Sky Sportshis executioner Bukayo Saka wished to apologize, indicating that his action was not “not intentional”.
