(Reuters) - Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren will miss Saturday's Premier League match against Watford with a muscle injury and there is no timeframe yet on when he will return to action, manager Juergen Klopp said on Friday.

With fellow centre back Joel Matip also nursing a knee injury, Klopp said the league leaders had only two fit senior centre backs to choose from, with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez set to play against the bottom side.
