Jurgen Klopp is waiting for news on Virgil van Dijk’s injury after the Dutch defender twisted his ankle in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield.

The Liverpool manager admitted he was concerned after his centre back injured himself while defending a 2-on-1 situation against Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min late in the game.
Klopp said: "I don't know if he twisted it or it is a knock. He was walking to the interviews with a big ice pack (on his ankle).
I hope it's nothing serious but I don't know yet. We have to see.
Liverpool have fixtures against Southampton, in the Premier League, and Porto, in the Champions League, coming up over the next eight days and cannot afford for their £75million man to be absent as they chase success on both fronts.
However, Van Dijk played down any worries.
"I hurt my ankle but hopefully it's not too bad," Van Dijk told the Liverpool Echo.
"It hurts, but we will take a look at it. I'll be fine for Friday."
