JUST a quick round-up of the biggest Liverpool FC related stories from today.
Karius Injury Latest
Loris Karius has provided fans with an update on his injury via Twitter. He’s going to be out for around 8-10 weeks as a result of a broken hand.
Mignolet’s performance last night won’t have helped the fume.

Other Injury News
Updates on the injuries of Alberto Moreno and Divock Origi. Klopp has said that Moreno’s injury is nothing too serious, claiming that it’s “just a dead leg”. We’ll have to wait and see whether that’s good or bad news.

Also confirmation that Origi missed the Roma game due to a groin injury. He was great against Milan, and perhaps his absence had an affect last night.
#LFC confident it is only a minor knock but Reds taking no chances https://t.co/XZW2ExpRxF

Suso On Why He Left
Former Liverpool man Suso has been telling Italian newspapers why he left Liverpool, citing a disappointing contract offer as his reason for leaving – as seems to be a regular feature at the club these days.
He went on to say: “Certainly it was a special place, I got there I was a kid, it seemed like a dream. If I’m at Milan it’s thanks to them, however, I made the right choice in coming to Italy.”
Why Vidic Turned Down Reds
Nemanja Vidic has come out insisting that he turned down a move to Liverpool before heading to Old Trafford.
He told FourFourTwo that the language barrier was causing problems, and that United showed much more of an interest.
So, yeah. Ta, for that mate.
