Sevilla’s Joris Gnagnon has apologized for his brutal challenge on Liverpool’s Yasser Larouci, who was lucky not to have surfered an injury following the dangerous tackle in their friendly game 2 – 1 defeat in Boston.

The 18 year old youngster was taken down by Gnagnon in the 80 minute after he tried drifting through the Sevilla midfield and the referee gave him a straight red for the foul but Larouci was stretched out of the pitch and Kloop believes the youngster was very lucky.

“It’s much too early in the season to create headlines by saying what I think but it looks like he was lucky,” Klopp told reporters at his post-match press conference.
“Of course, how it always is with these things we have to wait a little bit.”
