Jurgen Klopp was reportedly left furious during Liverpool’s clash against Leicester City when a foul on Kostas Tsimikas was not seen by the referee.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the Anfield boss was left raging after the Greek international was caught in the face on the halfway line by an opposing Leicester player.
Both Klopp and Tsimikas protested the foul yet nothing was awarded, with the Liverpool manager clearly aggrieved at the call to allow play to continue at Anfield.
With Tsimikas signing a new contract this week, the £7m Liverpool player would have wanted to enjoy a better performance on Merseyside against Leicester.
The defender was seemingly also fouled in the build-up for Leicester’s opening goal in the first half, with Tsimikas also substituted off just before halftime for youngster Luke Chambers.
Indeed, the fixture could have gone better for the Greek defender, and Klopp’s reaction to Tsimikas being fouled should have demanded the right action from the officials.
Tsimikas will hope to feature more for Liverpool
Having signed a new long-term contract with the club this week, things are looking up for Tsimikas, who will hope to feature more for Liverpool this season.
The UEFA Europa League and Liverpool’s opposition so far in the League Cup mean that the defender will be handed the chance to impress Klopp before 2024.
And early signs suggest that Tsimikas could have his best season yet for Liverpool, with Klopp already on the left-back’s side when it comes to missing out on fouls.
