BREAKING NEWS: Klopp confirms hamstring injury for Liverpool defender Lovren

Dejan Lovren's hamstring injury at Wolves means Virgil van Dijk is the only fit senior centre-back for Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's 2-1 defeat to Wolves in the third round of the FA Cup, manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.

Lovren was one of just two players retained in Klopp's starting XI from last Thursday's defeat to Premier League title rivals Manchester City but he pulled up during the early stages at Molineux.

It meant 16-year-old Dutch defender Ki-Jana Hoever was introduced, becoming Liverpool's youngster ever FA Cup player.
