Liverpool and England forward Danny Ings is expected to be out for at least six months after damaging cruciate knee ligaments, it emerged today.
The 23 year-old forward, who joined the Reds this summer, sustained the injury in training on Wednesday at the club's Melwood facility.
It came just a day after his teammate Joe Gomez suffered the same injury playing for England Under-21s against Kazakhstan on Tuesday.
Ings' hopes of being involved in Roy Hodgson's England squad for next summer's tournament in France are now in serious jeopardy.
He will definitely miss the friendlies with Spain and France next month and is unlikely to be available for the clash with Germany next March.
Meanwhile, Klopp has reassured Gomez he is happy to wait for him to return to fitness.
He said: "The information about young Joe Gomez is not the best. He came back here and I met him for the first time.
"What a wonderful young boy: tall, muscles in the right positions, but he has an injured knee - an ACL.
"We have to make a further diagnosis and we will see when he gets operated on but from this point on he can count the days until he comes back.
"It was not the best day in his life but he is a young guy and I am pretty good at waiting for players, young players especially.
"This is his home and we will do everything to help him come back as soon as possible."
