From his expression it didn’t look great, didn’t he go straight down the tunnel?

Didn't have a physio with him, so maybe it's something they already know about and he's just strained it a little.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Looked like he very suddenly needed the bathroom!

[Legs]

Looked like he very suddenly needed the bathroom!

Yeah it did look that way.

He also did an elbow gesture to Klopp so who knows what is wrong with Bobby

[killer-heels]

International break comes at a good time for him.

[Agent99]

International break comes at a good time for him.

Wasn't he inured for the last one? I just don't think he likes going away with the national team.

[rushyman]

Did he need a shit ?

[Max_powers]

International break comes at a good time for him.

He won't need that long to use the washroom.

[Son of Spion]

Did he need a shit Simeone?

[Peabee]

Confirmed as a hamstring injury.

Is that three players with hamstring injuries? Winning the group so early may prove vital so we can give some players a rest.

[Raid]

Wasnt it a hamstring injury against Chelsea too?

International break is pretty timely for a change, should hopefully get some bodies back

Unless Brazil decide to test his resolve

They can't ask someone with a hammy to travel ffs. The club would just refuse to let him go.

They're not allowed to refuse his call up if Brazil insist.

[rushyman]

And just play an injured player ?

I really hate international football now.

Wish it would actually just use amateurs

Could end up blowing our season to bits in January

[Funky_Gibbons]

National teams are allowed to call up an injured player so their medical team can assess the injury.

As I say

I hate international football

Every aspect of it now.

[Mister Flip Flop]

So he'll have to get on a plane go to Brazil get checked out and confirmed hamstring injury and then fly home? FFS that's ridiculous

Hopefully it won't come to that

Matip got called up and he had already retired

[Gili Gulu]

Now Brazil's not on the red list, Bobby would probably like to go back and see his family.

That the federations cannot do. It was a poor attempt of a power play on their part, illegal too. They wanted to have the upper hand to ban him from club games for 10 days after the international break (I recall that was the time).

maybe not with a new born baby - like 3 weeks old?

[Red Beret]

Fingers crossed they send representatives to check him here rather than demanding he go to them. Unless, as has been said, they want to play billy big bollocks.

[4pool]

And we didn't play him because of it.

Matip got called up by the Brazilian FA???

This is ridiculous

Fred get's called up to the Brazilian squad, times are rough if that's the standard.

Read that he might actually make the West Ham game, have we heard anything official?

Bad news - from the website

Roberto Firmino sustained a serious hamstring injury during Liverpool’s win over Atletico Madrid, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed.

The Brazilian picked up the issue after coming on at half-time of Wednesday’s 2-0 victory at Anfield and is facing a period on the sidelines.

Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com on Friday: “Bobby is not good news with a serious hamstring injury, really unfortunate. We don’t know exactly how long he will be out but it will be not now after the international break directly. We have to work on that.”

[tubby]

Great news, just perfect.  FFS.

[Hazell]

Well bugger. Was hoping for some good news on it for reason.

[DelTrotter]

Never ending, just absolutely relentless injuries. Should have put Taki on at 2-0 in a dead game but hindsight and all that, Mo, Sadio or Diogo can't be anywhere near the remaining two CL games, don't give a fuck if that means we have to play Adrian up top, just do it. Got to wonder if we are doing something wrong somewhere (not saying we are before I get jumped on), just wondering, there's bad luck then there's getting about 4 injuries a week! 3 hammy's in 10 days is it?

I read that as after Christmas before we'll see Bobby again.

We're really fucked if Salah, Mane or Jota get injured.

Sucks - is this a 2 month injury?

yeah, it really does feel like we get a lot of injuries but it might just be the same as every other team. someone's gotta have the stats somewhere!

[davidlpool1982]

The one good thing about international breaks is they let your injured players heal up a bit without missing games. At least 2 weeks if Bobby's hamstring recovery will be during the break. Hopefully get Milner, Jones and Gomez back when we return.

[John C]

That's terrible news for us and Bobby, he'll hate being out for a while.

Speedy recovery Bobby lad.

[Macca201188]

Really hope he is back before AFCON

Knowing our luck he'll be called up by Ghana or someone.
