Liverpool may have ended a run of four matches without a win but manager Jurgen Klopp revealed his frustration after another player was injured.

Belgian striker Divock Origi, starting only his third Premier League game, lasted just 38 minutes before coming off with a hamstring injury.

He joins Martin Skrtel, Jordan Rossiter and Daniel Sturridge on the sidelines with the same injury, while another four Reds, James Milner, Danny Ings, Joe Gomez and Jon Flanagan are also missing at the moment.

Origi was replaced by Christian Benteke, who scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Premier League leaders Leicester City, but the German was still frustrated.

"Origi did really well. I hope it is not too serious, we will see," said Klopp. "Hamstring is the s*** word of the year for me.

"It is always hamstring, hamstring, hamstring - that is the intensity of the game and fixtures.

"Benteke did really well in the last week in training but we decided on this starting line-up because of the things you saw from Divock in the first half-hour - we needed his speed.

"Christian came in, it was not easy the first 10 minutes, and second half it was much better.

"He fought intensively and worked hard for the team and he made his goal. He did perfect in the situation."

On the victory, Klopp had earlier said: "It was deserved. We played too complicated at Watford last week (losing 3-0). Today we did much better.

"We knew if we stayed concentrated we would get our chances as it was not too intensive in the first half so we could do more in the second half.

"We made this one goal but after all the set-plays of Leicester it was difficult and close and not easy to defend but we did it, we had patience and that is good so we deserved the three points.

"A lot of teams tried it before and it is not too easy so I am really pleased with what we did today."
