da betsson： Liverpool confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that centre-back Joel Matip is expected to undergo an operation on his injured groin.
da bet7： Matip picked up the problem in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool were careful to confirm that Matip would indeed undergo surgery, but heavily suggested that would be the case in a statement on their website.
Matip seems to have won over the Liverpool fans with his recent performances alongside Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence, and his absence will open the door for either Dejan Lovren or Ragnar Klavan to come into the team.
The Liverpool supporters have been reacting to the injury news, and it would be fair to say that not many are delighted with the thought of Van Dijk having a new partner.
