The unsettling situation with the serious injuries of Liverpool defenders has become even worse. Late last night, Liverpool announced that their third stopper Joel Matip was seriously injured. Just like Virgil van Dijk and Joel Gomez, he will not play until the end of the season.

Jürgen Klopp revealed that Matip will no longer play in 2020/21 due to a severe ankle ligament injury. “Unfortunately, after several examinations, we found out that Joel won’t play till the season end. He will return for preparations before the start of next season.”

Klopp revealed how Matip was injured:

“In the first half against Tottenham, a great start at Son saved our lives at that moment. He brilliantly stopped the opponent, but also severely injured his ankle. Imagine what that injury is like when he won’t play until the end of the season. ”

He recalled: “Matip often played despite injuries sacrificing his health for the team. His sacrifice was most evident at the beginning of this season. He played then because he had no one to replace him.”

Last Thursday, Liverpool ended a five-game winless streak with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham in the Premiership derby in the 20th round, without scoring a goal in four matches in a row.

However, a valuable win for the return of the current champion among the best teams in the Premier League at the entrance to the second half of the championship came at a high price.

Liverpool has been playing for a long time without the first stopper pair, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, and midfielder Fabinho, who played very well as a central defender in a major injury crisis, missed the game at Tottenham due to muscle problems. Now that Joel Matip was seriously injured there is trouble in Liverpool.
