Liverpool’s defensive lineup has suffered another blow as manager Jürgen Klopp confirms that Joel Matip, the Cameroonian defender, is set to miss upcoming matches due to injury. Klopp revealed that the extent of Matip’s injury is currently unknown as the player has not yet undergone a scan. However, the Liverpool boss indicated that the injury is significant, stating, “But it won’t be a short one.”
Joel Matip’s Injury Concerns
Matip, who is a key figure in Liverpool’s backline, has been a consistent presence in the Premier League side’s defence. His absence will be a concern for Klopp, who is already dealing with a number of injury setbacks within his squad. The German manager did not provide a specific timeline for Matip’s return, leaving a question mark over the defender’s availability for the team’s forthcoming fixtures.
Liverpool will now have to navigate their upcoming matches without Matip, as they await further medical assessment to determine the severity of his injury. The club has yet to announce any additional details regarding the situation.
