The injury went unnoticed – Shaqiri suffered the following muscle injury – sport

Xherdan Shaqiri was once again absent from the Liverpool side in a 3-0 home win against Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday. His absence was initially explained by physical fitness problems.

But later, “Reds” coach Jürgen Klopp became more specific: “As far as I know, Shaqiri suffered a muscle injury during his time with the Swiss national team. But he didn’t notice it at first. “

Duration of downtime unknown

After his return to the island, the midfielder felt uncomfortable in training. Then he put a day off. Finally, during an exam, a muscle tear was diagnosed, which is said to have occurred 5 to 6 days ago. “Nobody knew,” Klopp explained.

It is not known how long Shaqiri, 29, has to sit down due to his renewed physical complaints. The last time they played for the national team, the power was used in the test match against Belgium (1: 2) in the second half and played in the Nations League against Spain (1: 1) for 72 minutes.
