A big blow for Liverpool! Jurgen Klopp confirms Kostas Tsimikas has 'definitely broken' collarbone after collision with coach on touchline during Arsenal match

Tsimikas and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka were chasing a loose ball when the Arsenal forward bumped the Greek defender off balance and into Klopp. Tsimikas was in visible discomfort and had to be withdrawn. It was revealed at half-time on Sky Sports that he had been taken to hospital and the manager has since confirmed the worst.

Klopp told Sky Sports: "It was massively overshadowed by Kostas Tsimikas collarbone issue, definitely broken, so he is out for a long time. The other issues we will have to see. It is hard for us to swallow with the Robbo [Andy Robertson] situation."

The injury to Tsimikas adds yet another headache at full-back for Klopp, who is already missing his starting left-back, Andy Robertson, with a shoulder injury. Joe Gomez, who replaced Tsimikas, is not a natural left-back and won't be seen as a long term solution in that position.

The Greek full-back will be out for an extended period of time after suffering the latest injury in what will come as a huge blow to an already depleted Reds team.
