A scan has confirmed that the Belgium international suffered ligament damage in Wednesday night's 4-0 win over Everton at Anfield. The exact time frame still isn't clear as Origi will undergo a second second scan on Friday. However, Liverpool don't expect him to be able to play any part in their push for Europa League glory or their five remaining Premier League matches. * Read more Divock Origi stories by clicking here Origi faces a race against time to be fit for the European Championships in France which start on June 10. It's a crushing blow for Jurgen Klopp with the 21-year-old having been in outstanding form with five goals in his last five matches. Origi scored his 10 goal of the season against Everton but his night was cut short by a X-rated challenge from Ramiro Funes Mori early in the second half. The Blues centre-back was sent off and subsequently issued an apology but that will be of little consolation to Origi, who is on crutches with his right ankle in a protective boot. Origi will be sorely missed, especially in the Europa League semi-final tie with Villarreal. Greater responsibility will fall on the shoulders of Daniel Sturridge, while fellow striker Christian Benteke is close to returning to full training after a month out with a knee injury.
Real shame for everyone this, he was really starting to kick on too lef a real sour taste in the mouth after a great derby win tbh.
yeah it did come out yesterday. Who cares. we've benteke come on lads you know i'm right. this is fate.. benteke the hero in the end.
he's back fit for first leg... trust me off or not he's got a chance to play for the euros and play for his move if thats all it is.
Glad we stuffed those bitter sh!ts. Gutted for Origi and gutted for us, clearly Klopp's number 1 striker and for a lot of us too.
I hope he gets a #legit chance though, when he was playing there was **** all service, the defence was ****, and still he earned us more points than Lukaku's done for Everton in his best season ever. Benteke with some Milner service could be great, though he won't suit the one up top role like Origi did so can't just be swapped like for like.
A real shame, Studge must stay fit now or we're bang in trouble. Next season Origi has already shown he's our man, the lad has a bit of everything and will only get better.
benteke.... look at how well covered we are in strikers since the days of rafa and hodgson. one striker and n'dog compared to having top top players like benteke at our disposal I mean come on you've seem milner ABUSED left right and centre every match thread. "get rid" "useless" "woeful" but when he was out injured our team fell apart and now it seems he's got more assists than anyone... shock. benteke is a very good striker who loves the hard ground and firm running. he will see us home. plus lads seem to fail to realise he was in the movie clip done for summer tour so is he really going... hmmm... We cannot rely on sturrdige alone. no firmino.. they are not horses to be flogged to death.
No idea if he's in with a shout of going to the euros or not but if so, Mori should be prevented from going #****
Called this when it happened Some no-mark ends his season ... ****ing sucks for him, especially if we win the EL, as he deserves to be in the final given his contributions He'll be winning some league and European titles with us in the future, damn straight
