New Liverpool signing Loris Karius is set to miss the start of the 2016/17 Premier League campaign after suffering a pre-season injury.

The goalkeeper, signed from Bundesliga club Mainz this summer, fractured a bone in his hand during Liverpools 1-0 defeat to Chelsea which has resulted in the German requiring surgery.

To add insult to the injury (pardon the pun), the fracture was sustained during a collision with his own defender, as he came together with former Southampton defender Dejan Lovren.
