Liverpool loan Sepp van den Berg was taken to hospital after sustaining an ankle injury for Schalke.
Van den Berg joined Schalke on loan for the season during the summer transfer window, and has enjoyed an impressive start in Germany.
After moving late in the window, Van den Berg has started four league games, and was involved in their 3-2 loss to Augsburg on Sunday.
Unfortunately however, according to Schalke’s Twitter page, as seen in the tweet below, Van den Berg was taken to hospital after sustaining an ankle injury.

The tweet, translated into English, reads: “Sepp van den Berg is on his way to hospital with a suspected ankle injury. Fingers crossed for you Sepp!
Liverpool and Schalke will pray that the injury is not so serious, but being sent to hospital during the middle of the game is never a good sign.
Van den Berg was treated on the field, before being taken out on a stretcher and taken directly to hospital for further treatment.
Van den Berg spent some time with Liverpool during pre-season in the summer, where he was evaluated following his loan spell with Preston, but the club decided that a Bundesliga loan was suitable for his development.
