Bukayo Saka apologizes to Liverpool’s star for breaking his collarbone but claims he ‘didn’t think it was a foul.’
After fighting with Saka for the ball, Tsimikas collided with his own manager, Jurgen Klopp, causing him to be substituted out in the first half due to injury. The Greek left-back was then sent to the hospital.
The Reds are severely harmed by the news of Tsimikas’ injury, as fellow left-back Andy Robertson is also presently sidelined.
The Premier League title contenders’ 1-1 tie was overshadowed by Kostas Tsimika’s collarbone issue, which is undoubtedly fractured and will keep him out for a long time, according to Klopp, who made this statement to Sky Sports.
“The remaining matters we must observe.” We find it difficult to accept the circumstances surrounding Robbo [Andy Robertson].
Saka told Sky Sports, “I want to apologise to him because I’ve heard he’s gone to the hospital,” in reference to his part in fracturing Tsimikas’ collarbone.
Naturally, I didn’t mean it. I was just on a 50/50 footing with him, and I was shoulder to shoulder.
“He must have suffered a serious injury, as I was unable to witness him colliding with Jurgen Klopp.” I didn’t think it was a foul, so I was just focused on moving forward.
Due to their draw with Liverpool, Arsenal is now leading the Premier League table at Christmas. They will play West Ham at home on December 28. On Boxing Day (December 26), Liverpool will return to action when they travel to Burnley.
