PIC: This nasty facial injury is the reason Dejan Lovren is not playing for Liverpool

Liverpool are lining up with Lucas Leiva in the centre of their defence this evening.

Dejan Lovren was supposed to be there but he badly injured his face in a training ground accident. Lovren shared a picture of a badly blackened right eye before he set off to cheer his team on at Anfield. He wrote:

'Bad luck yesterday in training. Hopefully the swelling will go away quickly... Let's go now to support the team. Come on reds #YNWA'

Looks like it will need plenty of ice. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKLjN0PBpQb/ With James Milner playing left back for the Reds, it means there are two designated midfielders in the home side's defence. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/774631438499057664 Jamie Vardy will back himself to cause some problems, no doubt.
