Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic will sit out Saturday’s showdown with AC Milan in Santa Clara after suffering a concussion in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

The young Serbian was hurt after a sickening clash of heads with Bertrand Traore at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday night and taken to Huntingdon Memorial Hospital in Pasadena at half-time.

Grujic, who was suffering from memory loss, was given the all clear by medical staff after undergoing a CT scan.

The 20-year-old returned to the team hotel following the match and was kept under close supervision.

Grujic will fly with Jurgen Klopp’s squad from Los Angeles back to their Palo Alto training base on Thursday.

Liverpool will continue to monitor him closely and there’s no chance of him being allowed to feature against Milan.

It was a bad-tempered clash in Pasadena with five Reds players booked and Chelsea’s Cesc Fabregas sent off for a poor challenge on Ragnar Klavan.

Fabregas went into the Liverpool dressing room post-match to say sorry to both Klavan and Klopp. The apology was accepted with Klopp simply relieved that Klavan had avoided serious injury.
