# Liverpool fans are frustrated after Jurgen Klopp’s update on Joel Matip’s injury

A number of Liverpool fans cannot believe Jurgen Klopp’s update on Joel Matip, with the Reds manager [confirming](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/423835-jurgen-klopp-reaction-tottenham-press-conference) that the centre-back has suffered ankle ligament damage.

The Premier League champions were superb on Thursday night, beating Tottenham 3-1 away from home, performing excellent throughout.

Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane all found the net for Liverpool, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg netting for Spurs.

Although it was a great night for the Reds, Matip went off injured at half-time, having shone in the first half.

It was the latest in an endless stream of [injury setbacks](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joel-matip/verletzungen/spieler/82105) for the Cameroonian, who could now be out for an extended period of time.

With Fabinho also [unavailable](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/423892-fabinho-injury-update), and [Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-gomez-virgil-van-dijk-19270845) long-term absentees, it leaves Liverpool in a dire situation at centre-back.

These Reds supporters have been reacting to Matip’s injury on Twitter, with many now losing patience with the likeable defender.

> I love Joel Matip and always thought the natural progression was for him to become 4th choice next season purely based on injury but at this point I’d consider a £10-15m 4th choice now and either use Matip as a bonus option or sell in the summer.
