Liverpool beat Sunderland on Wednesday night, but the victory came at a cost when midfielder Wataru Endo, filling in at the injury-hit right-back position, suffered a serious ankle injury and was stretchered off. Manager Arne Slot said the injury looks bad and expects Endo to be out for a long time, praising his mentality for staying on despite the pain.

Fans vent frustration over the endless injuries and suspensions at the position.

Wataru Endo twisted his ankle badly in the 68th minute, needed oxygen on the pitch, and was carried off in tears while playing right-back for Liverpool.
