Liverpool star to miss Brighton's game on Saturday.

Liverpool Defender, Dejan Lovren, is set to miss Saturday's game against Brighton following an early exit in the Club's last FA Cup  game against Wolverhampton through injury. 

The Defender after five minutes of the clash, was immediately replaced by Dutch 17 year old Ki-Jana Hoever.

Lovren has been predicted by manager, Jurgen Klopp, to miss the Club's next two games.



That left boss Jurgen Klopp with only one fit senior centre-back in Virgil van Dijk, and speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Brighton, Klopp said it is likely Lovren will miss Liverpool's next two games.

Asked how long Lovren could be out for, Klopp said: "I don't know. Yes, it is serious otherwise he could play [against Brighton] but it's not that serious.

"I would expect him back maybe after Crystal Palace but I'm not sure we have to see."

Meanwhile, another boost came as fellow Defender, Joel Matip, has reportedly returned to training and may as well feature in the Saturday's games due to the shortage of Centre Defenders in the squad.

Matip suffered a broken Collarbone at the closing stages following a 1-0 Champions league win over Napoli last December.

"Joel trained for the first time yesterday with the team," Klopp said.

"That is really good but we have to see. We have to take it day-by-day and see how he is doing but that is good for us of course."

The unavailability of the returning Defender,
Matip, could make Klopp turn to summer signing, Brazilian Fabinho, who started his career as a right back at his Former Club, AS Monaco.

He also played the Centre Midfield role following a loss against Wolverhampton.



"If Fabinho has to play as a centre-half (against Brighton) - he has played there before - we will have to work on that on the training pitch," Klopp added.

"What we want is the natural understanding of the game because it is still only football and if you are a No 6, a holding player, with the ball it is easier.

"Without the ball it's different because you don't have a line behind you, but he will have all the boys around him. We speak a lot during the week but we try not to make it more complicated than it is."

Sad!!!! Corp member falls from moving commercial bus in Lagos.

At about 9:45pm on 15/04/19 a  corp member fell from a moving commercial bus (danfo) along LASU-ISHERI road Lagos.  He sustained severe head injury and was lying by the road side.  A few  eye witnessed at the scene of the incident assisted in driving him down to a nearby hospital at (Alimosho General hospital, Igando) where he was given first aid treatment. He was thereafter referred to LASUTH for further medical management that same night due to the nature of the injury he sustained. However, no one  has been unable to contact the relatives or friends. Mobile phone on him  can't be accessed (passworded) and has no means of identification on him.   We hope the young man recovers fast from the severe head injury sustained during the ugly incident. Anyone with useful information about the victim should please contact the relatives or the  Lagos State NYSC secretariat or call 09092377729.
