Jurgen Klopp had bad news for Liverpool fans after his side picked up a point against Premier League title rivals Arsenal.

Gabriel handed the Gunners an early lead at Anfield before Mohamed Salah levelled matters after 29 minutes.  

The draw was enough to send the Reds into Christmas a point behind the leaders but the result came at a cost with Kostas Tsimikas and Luis Diaz both forced off.

Klopp, 56, said: "Tsimikas broke his collarbone at least. That's really bad for us."

Asked whether Diaz had also picked up an injury, he added: "I hope not. He has pain, it was knee on knee and in that moment we wanted to change twice and then he was down. 

"He told me 'little pain'. The physios were not too concerned but you never know.

"We play in three days and you never know how quick the turnaround is, so we have to see. I don't know."

While Klopp faces an anxious wait for news, Mikel Arteta's Gunners came away from Anfield in an upbeat mood. 

Defender Gabriel, who scored his first goal of the season after four minutes, told the club's website: "It was a really intense game.

"It's so hard to play here against a big team. Of course, we wanted three points. 

"We came back with one point but the team played very well. We need to relax now and come back strong.

"I'm so happy to score my first goal this season and help the team — and thank the fans for their support. 

"We are strong at the back but they have a quality as well. Everyone worked so hard."
