After colliding in the air, Norgaard inadvertently fell onto the Liverpool star's leg, causing it to bend in a way that looked very painful.

After receiving treatment on the pitch, Jota tried to stand up but immediately crumpled back down to the turf before being stretchered off the pitch.

Jurgen Klopp couldn't believe what he was seeing as he watched on with his hands on his head.

Jota wasn't the only injury worry of the day either, with Curtis Jones going off with an ankle problem and Darwin Nunez being withdrawn at half-time.
