Liverpool star Cody Gakpo has spoken for the first time since he was on the receiving end of a heavy tackle from Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings during the 1-1 draw between the sides at Anfield on Saturday.
Villans centre-back Mings caught Reds striker Gakpo with a high boot midway through the first half, which left the former PSV Eindhoven captain with a visible mark on his abdomen.
Gakpo later thought he had netted his seventh Premier League goal of the campaign. However, referee John Brooks ruled it out after consulting the VAR monitor.
