Monday.
Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho underwent scans on
Monday, having hurt his left knee during the 2-1 defeat against
Crystal Palace at the weekend, with the Premier League club
waiting to find out the full extent of the lay-off.
Sakho was forced off late in the first half at Anfield on Sunday
after landing awkwardly following an aerial challenge and was
spotted arriving for his scan in Liverpool on crutches a day
later.
The France international withdrew from his country's squad for
the friendlies with Germany and England as a result of the injury
although reports on Merseyside have suggested there is
no anterior cruciate ligament injury.

bad it is]. It's too bad that he could not play on but we have to

little bit of time. I don't want to speculate now and we hope it is
not too serious."
Since his appointment a month ago, Klopp has already seen Joe

Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge have also yet to feature
under the German
