Liverpool have been rocked by a serious injury to Adam Lallana.
The midfielder will be out for the next two months after picking up a thigh injury against Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed the England star would likely be out for “a couple of months, not weeks".
Klopp told the told Liverpool website: “This is certainly not news we would have wanted.
“Unfortunately, the damage is such that it will likely mean Adam is out for a couple of months not weeks, so I think we can pretty much rule him out of August and September.
“Beyond that we will monitor and wait and see.
“He is a boy with a world-class attitude to everything professionally and he has always come back in good time from injury setbacks since I have been here, so we will see."
