Jurgen Klopp revealed the initial diagnosis for Yasser Larouci is positive following Joris Gnagnon's appalling kick on the left-back during Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Sevilla, but further assessments are needed.
The 18-year-old received extended medical attention and was stretchered off the pitch on 80 minutes after the French defender hacked him -- an offence that drew a straight red card.
The teenager, who has an an impressive pre-season as he makes his case to deputise for Andy Robertson, has hopefully evaded a long-term injury.
