Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz have suffered injuries during his team's loss to Arsenal.

While speaking to the media after the game, here's what Klopp said on the duo who had to come off the field during the contest (via liverpoolecho.co.uk):

“Lucho we had to change before half-time, something with the knee. Not good. He will have a scan and we will know more, I have no idea about the extent. On top of that, Trent was bad as well with the ankle, a twisted ankle. Not good. Trent in seven years never went off if he could have played on, he felt too much pain and there was slight swelling immediately. So he will have a scan."

Virgil van Dijk was also not happy with the penalty that helped the Gunners win the game as he said:

"We had good moments, bad moments and it got decided by a penalty that from our point of view wasn’t a penalty. It’s gone so quick, I’ve no idea how it looked in slow motion but unfortunately, we couldn’t get the points to bring it back to Liverpool. It is tough to take in general, conceding goals but we know that they are in the best moment of their lives."
