'Give Him the Sakho Treatment': Liverpool Fans Furious With World Cup Star After New Revelation

Much maligned Liverpool centre back Dejan Lovren has once again failed to endear himself to the Anfield faithful - by admitting he played through pain during the World Cup, leaving him unable to train.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Lovren revealed he's unable to train, leaving Liverpool with somewhat of a centre back crisis heading into the new season.

He 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! Of course, they [Liverpool] are not happy. I haven’t trained since I returned from holiday. I can’t.”

Liverpool fans reacted angrily on social media - and who can blame them?

It's clear Liverpool fans are unhappy with Lovren's behaviour - and they appear to be drawing comparisons between this situation and that of Mamadou Sakho not long ago. Reds fans will be intrigued as to whether Klopp applies the same rules to the Croatian when he returns to the club.
