He has really prepared well, really well, so I hope this is just a small injury and that he can play again soon,” Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp told reporters. “It’s a shame and I hope it’s nothing serious.” Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah also scored for Liverpool, who open their Premier League campaign at Watford on 12 August. The Merseyside club were in early title contention last season, six points behind leaders Chelsea at the halfway stage, but faded to finish 17 points behind the champions in fourth place.
