Jurgen Klopp explains Harvey Elliott substitution as Liverpool get 'important' double boost

Jurgen Klopp has played down injury fears over Harvey Elliott as the Liverpool manager hailed the comebacks of Naby Keita and Joel Matip in Dubai.

Elliott was withdrawn around the half-hour mark for Melkamu Frauendorf in the 3-1 loss to Lyon on Sunday, but the Reds boss says he is not concerned about the issue at present.

"Harvey got a knock early on, before we scored, but I think we were lucky, it looks fine now," Klopp said. "He feels it, which is normal as there was contact, but I think and I hope we were lucky in that moment."
