Liverpool have offered an update on the fitness of youngster Yasser Larouci, after he was subjected to a 'heinous' tackle in the pre-season friendly against Sevilla.
The 18-year-old full back was on the receiving end of a violent swipe from behind by defender Joris Gnagnon, who subsequently issued an apology for the challenge on Twitter, calling his own foul a 'heinous act' that 'should not be seen on a football field' before wishing him a speedy recovery.
The fears over Larouci's condition were amplified by the fact that he was forced to depart the field via a stretcher, but boss Jurgen Klopp was eager to play down fears of a long-term injury.
