Lallana’s injury could keep him out of World Cup, says Klopp
London, April 1 (IANS) English attacking midfielder Adam Lallana suffered a “really serious” injury against Crystal Palace and could miss the World Cup in Russia this summer, Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp said.
“I haven’t spoken with him, but I saw him. It’s absolutely bad,” Klopp said at a press conference following his team’s 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, reports Efe.
Lallana was in the match at Selhurst Park for barely five minutes when he went down after being challenged by Crystal Palace’s Luka Milivojevic.
The 29-year-old Lallana was checked by a trainer and left the field.
“We don’t know exactly what he has, but in the first moment and then I saw him going down it looked really serious, to be honest,” Klopp said.
“It looks like something with the muscle, we couldn’t make any further assessment so far, of course, but we will do that as quick as possible.”
Klopp said it was too early to say whether Lallana would miss the World Cup.
“It is absolutely too early,” the Liverpool coach said. “”We hope it won’t be that serious. That’s not for now to decide that. It’s just not good,” he added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
