Jürgen Klopp could be without young Liverpool defender Joe Gomez for the rest of the season.
The results of a scan on the 18-year-old – who started the club’s first five Premier League matches at left-back – will be known on Thursday, after he suffered the injury while on duty for England’s under-21s.
After he was withdrawn during the 2-1 win over Kazakhstan, England U-21 manager Gareth Southgate initially played down the injury.
“It seems to be OK,” he said. “We were a bit concerned at first but we are hopeful it’s nothing too serious.”
However, it now seems that Gomez could be out until next summer with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
