Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he is hopeful that Naby Keita's injury is "not so serious" after the midfielder was forced out of Wednesday's Carabao Cup victory over Arsenal.
The Reds beat the Gunners in stunning fashion at Anfield, winning a penalty shootout following a thrilling 5-5 draw through 90 minutes.
However, the victory was dampened slightly by Keita's injury, as the midfielder was forced out of the match in the 54th minute after slipping and picking up an apparent knock.
Klopp is hopeful that Keita's injury will not cause the midfielder to miss much time, especially given the wave of fixtures scheduled in the coming weeks.
“If Naby’s injury is not so serious, which I hope, then it was a nearly perfect night,” Klopp told the club's official website at full-time.
“He felt a little bit. I saw it, he slipped when he lost the ball. He slipped away, I saw him limping afterwards and that’s why we did it.”
Keita has endured a stop-start career at Liverpool, having joined the Reds from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018.
The Guinea international made 33 appearances last season, but has been limited to just six this campaign, with only one appearance in the Premier League.
