(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp believes defender Joe Gomez was unlucky to suffer a broken leg against Burnley on Wednesday but stressed that Premier League teams could be aggressive without injuring opponents.

England international Gomez was substituted after 23 minutes of the 3-1 victory at Turf Moor following a robust tackle from Burnley's Ben Mee and will miss up to six weeks of action with a fracture to the lower left leg.
