PIC: Dejan Lovren’s massive black eye is the reason he’s missing Liverpool v Leicester

This looks incredibly painful.

Liverpool fans feared the worst when they saw the name of Dejan Lovren curiously absent from the team to face Leicester City at a newly redeveloped Anfield on Saturday evening. The Croat had been replaced by Lucas Leiva, having received a dirty, dirty dig in training on Friday. Lovren posted the following image to his social media accounts. Gory stuff. https://twitter.com/JamesPearceEcho/status/774634045972054016 Happily for Lovren, there was no concussion, but he plays no part against the champions. Philippe Coutinho also drops to the bench, with Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge starting up front. Liverpool team: Mignolet, Clyne, Matip, Lucas, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mané, Firmino, Sturridge.
