Klopp to wait on injured Coutinho after Liverpool win

Philippe Coutinho's ankle injury was the only negative to come from Liverpool's 2-0 defeat of Sunderland on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp will have to play a waiting game on Philippe Coutinho after the Liverpool playmaker was carried off on a stretcher against Sunderland.

The Merseysiders prevailed 2-0 thanks to a goal from Divock Origi - Coutinho's replacement in the first half - and an injury-time James Milner penalty.

Klopp told a news conference: "We have to wait for the scan, it's something to do with his ankle.
