Liverpool are facing fresh injury concerns after full-back Konstantinos Tsimikas was seen leaving the pitch with his right knee heavily strapped with ice on Wednesday evening. The incident occurred during their match at Anfield, sparking worry amongst fans and the club’s medical staff.
Tsimikas, who had put in a solid performance during the game, appeared to have picked up the knock in the second half, though he managed to complete the match. However, post-game footage showed the Greek international with significant treatment on his knee, raising fears that he could be facing a spell on the sidelines.
The 27-year-old left-back has been a reliable backup to Andy Robertson in recent seasons, often stepping in during key fixtures. Tsimikas’ potential absence could force Jürgen Klopp to consider alternative defensive options, especially with a demanding schedule of Premier League and European fixtures ahead.
Klopp is already navigating a number of injuries within the squad, making Tsimikas’ situation a potentially significant blow. The Liverpool medical team is expected to conduct further assessments to determine the severity of the injury.
Fans will be hoping that the precautionary measures taken after the match are enough to prevent a longer-term absence, as Tsimikas’ versatility and defensive qualities have been vital to Liverpool’s depth at left-back.
The club has not yet issued an official statement, but more updates are expected in the coming days as the team prepares for their next fixture. Liverpool supporters will be keeping a close eye on the situation, eager for positive news about Tsimikas’ fitness.
