JAKARTA - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is in an unpleasant situation due to a hamstring injury. The funny thing is, this situation actually becomes a joke and lies with the players themselves.

Liverpool player Harvey Elliott is one of the players who teased the manager. Competing like Klopp when asked for information about the condition of the player, Elliott admitted that he was still waiting for Klopp's latest news and hoped his condition would be good.

"We are still waiting for news about it. Hopefully he (Jurgen Klopp) is fine," Elliot said with a laugh, quoted from Liverpool Echo on Tuesday, May 2.

"I think we're also celebrating goals in the same way so I hope he doesn't get too seriously injured," he added.

Klopp suffered a hamstring injury due to being too excited when celebrating his team's winning goal against Tottenham Hotspur. The goal was scored by Diogo Jota when the match entered its final minutes in injury time.

Liverpool vs Tottenham match was tense and thrilling. Because initially the Reds, who initially performed solid, managed to lead 3-0 in 15 minutes.

Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah took turns breaking into The Lilywhites goal. Instead of being a sign of a big win, Liverpool were instead bombarded with three goals in return by Tottenham.

Harry Kane scored the first goal in the 40th minute followed by Son Heung Min's goal in the 77th minute. At its peak, Tottenham were able to equalize in the third minute of injury time through Richarlison.

Richarlison even celebrated the goal emotionally while taking off his clothes. But it turns out that the drama didn't stop there, Diogo Jota was able to score Liverpool's fourth goal and at the same time made Anfield, who had been silent, cheered again.

It was during that moment that Klopp was so happy and emotional to celebrate victory. So excited, he got injured.

However, Elliott still prays for the manager's condition to improve soon. He hopes Klopp can recover as much as possible.

"He will be in our prayers. Yesterday's game was full of emotion, we threw away the lead and scored again in the last 30 seconds and of course a beautiful feeling," said Elliott.

"Hopefully he is fine and will undergo the required recovery period," he continued.
