Summer signing Koch limped off against Chelsea on Saturday evening and was replaced by Diego Llorente, who was making his debut after recovering from a groin injury.

Here is how some Whites fans reacted to the injury blow on social media:

@David_balbi: Such a shame, he’s been getting better and better this season which is even more impressive if he’s been managing a knock. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

@smith_ingham: Played through the pain all season for us as no cover. Now has to have surgery, wish him a speedy recovery. Luckily Llorente is now fit so at least we have some cover although he needs time to settle in.

@S13Neil: Frees up a space on the bench for Pablo?

@VidukaEra: This isn’t the start to the day I wanted.

@Nickfaldo92: Weak at the back anyway so this is all we need! CB and LB in the window now!

@Andyfraser86: Centre back in January then!?

@ArronRichmond: Massive loss, been absolutely outstanding for us. Hope he's able to come back asap.

@NathanP92: Another CB in January then... expecting plenty of goals conceded between now and then.

@JacobWadsworth6: Bad news, what an opportunity for Llorente though

@tats180: Thank god the transfer window is only 3 weeks away!!

@JordyP1993: Name a club with worse luck when it comes to injuries. I’ll wait.

@ihatelufc: This club, man. We’re so unlucky with injuries.
