"And I asked him, and he said: 'I feel my quad a little bit'."But for me all alarm bells go off because in another sprint then you never know if that is going to go good, so it was already a substitution I had in mind for maybe a little bit later, because the right centre-back has a lot of ball possession, and we all know that Ryan (Gravenberch) is good in there."So it might be okay and he went off early enough, but it was clear that I had to take him off because he was limping."Liverpool are also waiting to discover if Andy Robertson suffered an injury during the defeat to Chelsea.
