Joe Allen Injury: Updates on Liverpool Midfielder's Hamstring and Return

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen needs a scan to determine the extent of the hamstring injury he suffered in his side's pre-season clash with Swindon Town.

Kop boss Brendan Rodgers suggested Allen's problem may be serious, per Chris Shaw of the club's official site: "I think Joe was his hamstring, unfortunately, so that doesn't look so good for us. But we'll see how that is tomorrow when he has a scan."

The Reds beat League One outfit Swindon 2-1 at the City Ground, courtesy of goals from Christian Benteke and young winger Sheyi Ojo.
