The Reds could be without one of their most in-form players.
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed to reporters that Adam Lallana could miss Liverpool’s “next two or three games” with an injury picked up on England duty, as reported by the Daily Express.
Lallana limped off during the first half of the Three Lions’ friendly draw against Spain during the international break after scoring earlier in the game and in the World Cup qualifying win over Scotland four days earlier.
It had been hoped that his substitution was more of a precautionary measure, but the 28-year-old was not named in the squad for the Reds’ goalles draw with Southampton on Saturday.
Klopp admitted that it looks as though the 28-year-old could be set for a spell on the sidelines.
The German boss said, via the Express: “Adam Lallana is not in [the squad] because he picked up an injury with England.
“It was serious enough to be not involved today and possibly the next two or three games. We don’t know exactly in the moment but that was the only problem we had.”
Any absence of Lallana would be a big blow for Liverpool. He has scored three goals and added five assists in 11 Premier League games so far this term, and has become a key creative outlet for the side.
The news certainly seems to have many Anfield supporters worried, with many expressing their concerns on Twitter after Klopp’s comments.
