Lots of Liverpool fans have been raging at some shock injury news, as Dejan Lovren has admitted to keeping an on-going injury under the radar.

Liverpool fans are rightfully bashing Lovren, as he has admitted that Liverpool are “not happy” that he has returned from the World Cup with an injury.

The Croatian centre back was an absolute colossus for his country in Russia, but says he was carrying an injury throughout the competition, and that it will delay his start to the season.

“I cannot train at all because of stomach muscle issues. I am suffering a lot of pain and will see a specialist doctor in the Netherlands”, the 6 ft 2 ace said.

“When did I start to feel it? I felt it during the World Cup. I played with pain and those three games killed me. But who wouldn't play for Croatia at such a big tournament.

“After the World Cup finished, the pain increased. I can't even sit in my car without feeling it and to get out of the car hurts like hell.

“Of course, they (the club) are not happy.”

Lovren’s approval rating with fans has been slowly rising since his nightmare first season at Anfield, but this is definitely turning plenty more against him.

Fans will remember Mamadou Sakho being tossed to the curb for not notifying the club of a problem, albeit a different kind of problem, and Klopp may not take too kindly to Lovren’s decision to keep the injury quiet.
