Klopp himself was involved in the incident, with Tsimikas colliding with Bukayo Saka before sending Klopp to the ground.

Tsimikas set for spell on sidelines

The broken collarbone could see the Greece international out of action for up to three months.

Klopp has confirmed the left-back is facing a spell on the sidelines as a result of the injury, leaving Liverpool with further defensive headaches.

“It was massively overshadowed by Kostas Tsimikas’ collarbone issue, definitely broken, so he is out for a long time,” Klopp said.

“The other issues we will have to see. It is hard for us to swallow with the Robbo [Andy Robertson] situation.”
