Jurgen Klopp has detailed a fresh injury concern for Liverpool after their 1-0 defeat to RB Salzburg on Wednesday.
Benjamin Sesko scored the only goal of the game for the Austrian side as the Merseyside club played their final match ahead of Saturday's Community Shield against Manchester City. Ahead of the match at the King Power Stadium which pits the Premier League champions against the FA Cup winners, Klopp explained that a further player was a doubt for the weekend.
Full-back Kostas Tsimikas missed the loss in Austria and Klopp explained the reason for the Greek international's absence pre-match. "He got a knock yesterday (Tuesday), so he cannot play today," the German manager told LFCTV.
