Liverpool's Joel Matip could miss as many as the next ten fixtures due to an ongoing knee problem.
The 28-year-old defender featured in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United earlier this month but had been notable by his absence prior to that against Genk and Sheffield United, while he was also left out of the 2-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp initially called Matip's knee injury a 'little thing', which he predicted would take two weeks to settle. The centre back himself insisted he was 'feeling good' ahead of the Man Utd clash.
