With the news that Danny Ings is set to miss up to six months with a ruptured knee cruciate, Liverpool supporters are “absolutely gutted.”
Ings had secured a dream move to Merseyside this summer and begun the season in red-hot form, including goals against Norwich City and Everton in the Premier League – as well as earning his first senior England cap on Monday night.
But after returning to Liverpool training under new manager Jurgen Klopp on Wednesday, the striker suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
This injury comes as a blow for Klopp, as he prepares for the start to his reign at Anfield.
Joe Gomez is also facing nine months on the sidelines after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament on international duty.
Here’s how supporters reacted on social media.
Horrible news for both Joe Gomez and Danny Ings. Massive double blow in quick succession for Jurgen Klopp. #LFC left cursing injury list.

As for Gomez, awful news for Danny Ings. From senior international debut on Monday to season over on Thursday.

Really gutted about that. Such a likeable man.

Absolutely gutted for Danny Ings, he's been one of the only bright spots so far this season.

There won't be any players left for Klopp to coach at this rate

Just realised. Ings was injured prior to those England matches and WOY still played him??!

Jurgen Klopp was excited by working with "young gun" Joe Gomez. And Danny Ings would've been perfect for his "emotional football"#LFC

One week of fun for Liverpool fans and the Gods are all like "Can't be having this – two cruciate ligament injuries, take that!" #cursed

#Ings and #Gomez out so quick succession. It's almost like it was a Football Manager bug. Horrible for both and #lfc

What's with all the knee ligament injuries these days? Swear they weren't always this common.
— James Dutton (@jrgdutton) October 15, 2015
At this rate Klopp is going to have to dust his boots off! #LFC!
— Si Steers (@sisteers) October 15, 2015
Max Gradel, Tyrone Mings, Callum Wilson, Danny Ings, Joe Gomez, Tim Krul. Six cruciate injuries in the Premier League four weeks. Awful.
— Daniel Storey (@danielstorey85) October 15, 2015
You can buy knee ligaments outside of the transfer window, right? #LFC
— Mark Jones (@Mark_Jones86) October 15, 2015
Klopp has brought the Dortmund injury curse with him #KloppOut
— Tom McMahon (@tomjpmac) October 15, 2015
Ings and Gomez ruled out for the season in the same week! Welcome to English football Mr #Klopp #YNWA

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy in Danny Ings as well ?

Sad news about Danny Ings. Awful injury and was just starting to find his stride for Liverpool. Early blow for Klopp.
— GetYourTipsOut (@GetYourTipsOut) October 15, 2015
Losing Ings and Gomez is unfortunate but neither are "crushing blows" for LFC or Klopp. Lets all relax shall we?
— David Thomas (@dvdthmsdt) October 15, 2015
Absolutely horrible news about Danny Ings. Started really well at Liverpool, think he's a player Klopp will really like too. Gutted for him.
— Joe Musker (@JoeMusker_) October 15, 2015
ALL THIS #KLOPPFORTHEKOP AND #THENORMALONE MERCHANDISE IS THE REASON INGS AND GOMEZ ARE OUT FOR THE SEASON. WE BROUGHT IT UPON OURSELVES.

Big chance for Divock Origi to step-up here, but we have to buy a new Striker in Jan now.
