Glen Johnson is facing up to three months on the sidelines after injuring his knee in Liverpool's victory over Aston Villa, reports the Daily Mail. The England right-back was forced off late on in the 1-0 win after damaging the medial ligament in his right leg and was assessed by the club's medical team at Melwood.
A club spokesman said: "A scan today has revealed a tear in the medial ligament in Glen's right knee. The player will see a specialist tomorrow, after which we should be able to more accurately determine the length of his rehabilitation period."
