Everton confirmed on Wednesday that Jarrad Branthwaite suffered a hamstring injury in the match. Manager David Moyes said the injury 'doesn't look great' and expressed concern about it, adding he was worried though they hadn't received results yet. The exact severity and recovery timeline for Branthwaite's hamstring injury have not been disclosed. According to reports, Branthwaite had a similar injury in October that required surgery, but surgery is not needed this time. Whether Branthwaite will require any medical procedures for his current injury remains unclear.
Beto suffered a head injury late in the game after a collision with Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate. He appeared to suffer swelling under his eyes and was replaced as a result. The status and recovery timeline for Beto's head injury are unknown. Moyes noted it caused problems because they had already made a couple of subs so they were down to their last one.
It doesn't look great.
Liverpool won the derby 2-1, with Mohamed Salah scoring first, Beto equalizing, and Virgil van Dijk scoring a late winner. According to league standings, Liverpool stay fifth in the Premier League table, while Everton are 10th, one point behind sixth-place Chelsea. How Everton will cope defensively with Branthwaite likely out and what impact these injuries will have on their remaining matches and league position this season are key questions moving forward.
It caused problems because we had already made a couple of subs so we were down to our last one.
Jarrad was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch, I thought he played so well.
No, I'm worried though. We've not had any results yet.
I don't think the injuries we had helped us, in some ways.
I thought the players played great today, they didn't get the result they deserved. We deserved more from it than we did. They did a great job. Disappointed with the last goal but in the main the players did a brilliant job.
