Klopp uses Clough’s Pele joke in defence of Liverpool handling of Milner concussionLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists the club handled James Milner’s concussion injury correctly in the midweek Champions League win over Napoli.
“For me it was clear; he got a real check on the pitch and he was fine when it happened, in the dressing room in our meeting Millie was completely fine and, after calming down, came out into the floodlights and was like ‘Woah, what is going on here?’. “It is a good joke but we don’t do that nowadays. We really take it seriously, that is definitely the case and it was the first moment we knew and then it was ‘here we stop’.”
But as Milner’s situation – and that of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez last weekend when he received a blow to the head but continued for some time until reporting a problem – showed, the onset of effects can be delayed significantly and Klopp could not suggest any improvements to the current system.
