Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits they could be missing Danny Sturridge for eight weeks.
Sturridge could be sidelined for up to two months with an ankle injury.
Rodgers said: "Daniel is probably going to be out six to eight weeks.
"It was something we thought was never going to be as serious as that to be honest.
"He slipped over in training and we thought initially it was his toe. He got brought inside straight away and he was taken for a scan straight away and it showed he'd actually got a ligament strain.
"It's a big blow for us because he's been brilliant since he's come in.
"We've played a few systems this year, which has been brilliant, and it's given me the flexibility to change it around. It's about the players and we've got some good ones to come in."
