Klavan set to miss visit of the Premier League championsRagnar Klavan looks set to miss Liverpool’s Premier League showdown with Leicester City at Anfield on Saturday.
The Estonian centre-back reported back for club duty on Wednesday having aggravated the knee injury which had forced him to miss the trip to Tottenham prior to the international break.
A scan had given Klavan the all-clear to captain Estonia in their opening World Cup qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday night – having sat out the 1-1 friendly draw with Malta last week.
The 30-year-old played the full 90 minutes in Zenica but it proved to be a painful night in more ways than one as Estonia were thrashed 5-0 and he was hampered by discomfort in his knee late on.
Klavan will now be assessed by Liverpool’s medical staff but he’s unlikely to feature this weekend.
Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip are expected to be the Reds’ centre-backs having impressed as a partnership in the 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.
