Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Philippe Coutinho was subbed off in the second half of tonight's clash with AFC Bournemouth because he was ill.
The Brazilian ace scored his side's first goal to equalise in the 40th minute of the eventual 2-2 draw with the Cherries at Anfield, before coming off on 65 minutes when his side was leading 2-1.
After the match, Klopp revealed Coutinho had succumbed to sickness: "…we had to change Phil because he felt sick at half-time. He vomited.
"He said he feels better now – that's good – but it was clear when he gave the sign then we had to change.
"It's no joy when you have to take off the best player in this moment on the pitch, because he played really well."
After Coutinho had cancelled out Benik Afobe's opener, Divock Origi headed home a brilliant cross from Gini Wijnaldum in the 59th minute before Joshua King produced a leveller in the 87th minute for the visitors.
