Adam Lallana’s reunion with Liverpool takes just 8 MINUTES as the Brighton midfielder is forced

Adam Lallana’s Liverpool reunion lasted just eight minutes and the Brighton midfielder suffered another injury.

Lallana started on the bench, but was brought in in the 63rd minute by Seagulls’ boss Graham Potter, just after Liverpool took the lead through Diego Jota.

The former Reds man had barely touched the ball before running through the tunnel to be replaced by Alireza Jahanbakhsh.

The midfielder faced his old side for the first time since leaving the club in the summer

The midfielder was hesitant for the game after suffering a groin injury in Brighton’s victory over Aston Villa last weekend.

And it looks like the 32-year-old was injured again during his brief cameo against his former squad.

The Seagulls then claimed a run in Lallana’s absence, with Pascal Gross converting a dramatic 93-minute penalty after VAR found that Andy Robertson had knocked out Danny Welbeck in the area.

Jurgen Klopp had praised Lallana prior to the match, calling him a ‘friend for life’.

“We still miss him, but it’s not easy to miss Adam Lallana as pretty much everyone at the club is still in touch with him – not so much this week, but he’s a friend for life.”

When Lallana left the club in the summer, Klopp insisted he was a club legend after winning the Premier League in his final season.

‘For now, if you ask me, I already miss everything about him. He is one of the most influential players in terms of training quality I’ve ever had in my life. He’s an incredible professional, ”said Klopp.

So he’s been one of the most important players of the time since I’ve been here, so I only wish him the best for the future.

“I think he’s already a legend here, so he can become a legend elsewhere next season.”
