Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has fractured a rib and could be out of the reckoning for four weeks. The Denmark international sustained the injury during the 4-0 defeat at Tottenham when he fell heavily in the first half and had to be substituted before half-time.
However, there are contrasting reports on the extent of the injury.
"Daniel has got a fractured rib, so he's struggling a bit," boss Kenny Dalglish told liverpoolfc.tv.
However, Agger's agent Per Steffensen is more pessimistic.
"It's the worst possible news. He has broken two ribs, and he must keep still for four weeks," Steffensen told sporten.tv2.dk.
He added on tipsbladet.dk: "Daniel is way down now and I certainly sympathise with him.
"He will miss the two (international) matches against Cyprus and Portugal and there is a match against Manchester United he also misses. It's insanely annoying."
