Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp singled the only strand of ‘good news’ following his side’s 7-2 massacre at the hands of Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
After seeing goal keeper Alisson ruled out with injury in the build-up to the game, Klopp was relieved that no other players had gotten injuried at Villa Park.

Alisson is now set to miss up to six weeks through injury with Adrian lacking gumption between the sticks in his absence against Dean Smith’s side.
Klopp didn’t avoid questions when asked of the poor showing from his team on Sunday but still managed to find a positive take away from the defeat.
“The only good news actually is nobody was injured after the game,” Klopp said post-match.
Reflecting on the impact of the squad’s current injuries and absentees, he added: “That’s really for supporters and journalists to make of these kind of things, ‘He is not in, he is not in, he is not in’. There is no need for one excuse, absolutely not.”
“Whatever team we could have lined up tonight, I wouldn’t expect to lose 7-2, to be honest – 100 per cent. It’s not necessary, it’s absolutely not necessary.
“I said it in the beginning and it’s true, Aston Villa did really, really well, but we helped as well. This game then has its own dynamic and then influence goes in that direction, one team is flying and the other team is obviously not flying. We know that, that’s how things can happen – but it should not happen. 4-1 down, half-time, usually you would say we try another five minutes and then we just defend. That’s not us.”
The Reds manager would be looking to regroup and bounce back in their next fixture in the premier league.
