"It's unfortunate with Philippe because everyone knows how good a person he is and I think he was in top form, so I hope it's not too bad," Origi said.
"But I'm sure he will come back stronger and I always said that we have a strong group. Everybody has to help each other. I'm always ready. I believe I can help the team a lot this year and I believe I have the qualities to start in this team."
With Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge doubtful and Roberto Firmino unlikely to plat, Origi seems certain to start against Leeds.
