Jurgen Klopp makes “deserved” impact claim on Liverpool star after injury return

Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Takumi Minamino is in a “really good moment” after the 26-year-old scored a brace in Liverpool’s 3-0 win at Norwich in the League Cup. The Japan international sustained a thigh injury earlier in the month which was stated as the main reason behind his lack of minutes so far, but boss Klopp was full of praise for him following a fine display at Carrow Road.

Klopp said: “Footballers want to play, that’s clear. He was with his national team, got injured and was then not fit so it was not like he didn’t play for 60 weeks.   “It was the time after the injury but Taki is in a really good moment, training well and deserved the two goals.   “The first was quick in the mind and he finished it off well. The second I didn’t see but he got into the box and in pre-season he was really good, then he got injured on international duty but now he is back.”
