Klopp said that the 25-year-old tried to push through the pain. However, it was clear that he’d have to go off.”Diogo had to go off with something around the ankle ligament. We will see, we don’t know exactly. He could have played on, maybe that’s a good sign, but at half-time, the ankle was swollen anyway so we knew we had to change.”
