The incident took place in the 35th minute when the Greek left-back collided with the Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka and went on to collide with Klopp, who was in front of him near the touchline. While Klopp got on his feet quickly, Tsimikas was in visible pain and was taken out of the field. He was later replaced by Joe Gomez in the game. After the game, it was reported that the 27-year-old had broken his collarbone, which Klopp later confirmed in an interview. The 56-year-old told Sky Sports, “A massive shadow, Kostas Tsimikas, his collarbone is definitely broken. All the rest [with his injury], we have to see. Out for a long time, which is hard to swallow for us with the Robbo situation.” He further said, “I thought it wasn’t a real problem. I had no pain and thought maybe Kostas came away. “I would happily give my collarbone if Kostas would be fit again.”
