A Liverpool star has hospitalised after colliding with manager Jurgen Klopp during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
Konstantinos Tsimikas was forced off with an injury in the first half after crashing into Klopp following a challenge with Bukayo Saka.
The Greek defender was seen holding his shoulder before being taken to hospital, where it was confirmed that he had broken his collarbone.

"It was massively overshadowed by Kostas Tsimikas collarbone issue, definitely broken, so he is out for a long time," Klopp told Sky Sports.
"The other issues we will have to see. It is hard for us to swallow with the Robbo [Andy Robertson] situation."
"I thought it wasn't a real problem. I had no pain and thought maybe Kostas came away [OK]," he admitted.
"I would happily give my collarbone if Kostas would be fit again.
"I was completely fine, in that moment I thought Kostas as well, and he said 'no, it's broke'. It's not cool.
As Klopp mentioned, first choice left-back Andre Robertson has been out of action since the October international break after picking up a shoulder injury.
The Reds will now turn their attention to next week's visit to Turf Moor to face Burnley before they host Newcastle United at Anfield on New Year's Day.
