Liverpool have injury concerns over Konstantinos Tsimikas after the full-back was spotted leaving the Anfield pitch on Wednesday evening with his right knee heavily strapped with ice.

The 28-year-old left-back was awarded just his second start of the season when Liverpool hosted West Ham in last night’s EFL Cup Third Round.

The Reds cruised to a 5-1 victory after Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota both bagged braces either side of a goal from Mo Salah.

Arne Slot’s men will now travel to Brighton for a Last Round of 16 tie on 29th October.

Concerns for Konstantinos Tsimikas following EFL Cup win

However, despite their progression through to another knockout phase, Liverpool’s celebrations were dampened slightly after Tsimikas, who was replaced with Andy Robertson after 81 minutes, was spotted walking down the tunnel with his knee strapped up.

Was this strapping/ice a precautionary measure? Didn’t see Tsimikas in any discomfort when he came off in the game. #LFC pic.twitter.com/nw0HRhd6KZ

Although he is far from a regular starter, the Greece international plays a hugely significant role within Liverpool’s squad.
