LONDON: Liverpool defender Joel Matip will miss the remaining matches of the English Premier League season due to a foot injury, the champions said on Tuesday. Centre back Matip sustained the injury during Liverpool's goalless draw with local rivals Everton earlier this month. He told Liverpoolfc.com: "This season I will be not back on the pitch but for next season, I hope I'm going to be quite early a direct help for the team."IANS
