James Milner hands Liverpool another injury scare

James Milner has handed Liverpool an injury-scare after being forced off in the Reds’ Champions League clash with Napoli.

Captain on the night, the 36-year-old took a heavy blow to the head in the first half at Anfield. And although he carried on, he went down off the ball early after the restart and shook his head to the bench and pointed to his head to signal he wasn’t fit to continue.

After briefly being checked over, Harvey Elliott replaced the midfielder in the 48th minute with Virgil van Dijk taking the captain’s armband.
