Liverpool are waiting to discover the extent of an injury Cody Gakpo sustained at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening.

The forward suffered a knock prior to scoring the Reds' equaliser at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following a challenge by Destiny Udogie.

Gakpo was subsequently withdrawn at half-time and Jürgen Klopp confirmed during his post-match press conference he was awaiting further diagnosis to determine the severity of the issue.

The boss said: "The biggest problem of the game, to be honest... before Cody Gakpo scored, we got a free-kick and he got injured and he is now with a brace limping down the corridor.

"That's my biggest problem, to be honest, in this moment. We lost two [to red cards] and maybe a third player - really bad, really bad. So, yes, that's something we have to deal with obviously."

Asked if the injury for Gakpo was a 'bad one', Klopp added: "Possibly, I don't know.

"He wore a brace. He scored a goal but afterwards, but after that shot he felt it even more. It was from the foul before."
