Liverpool face Manchester United on Sunday and their star goalkeeper could miss the fixture.
The paper say that the Spaniard is not expected to be out for a serious amount of time, but that he is likely to miss the match against Jurgen Klopp’s table-toppers.
The long-serving United man limped out of Spain’s international clash against Sweden on Tuesday night with a groin injury.
Liverpool head to their rivals having enjoyed a stellar start to the season, currently sitting eight points ahead of champions Manchester City.
Man United, in contrast, have had a fairly terrible 2019/20 so far. They are winless in their last three top-flight fixtures, part of a five game winless streak in all competitions.
However, the Reds haven’t won at Old Trafford since 2014 and so still have plenty to prove when it comes to this hotly contested fixture.
Sergio Romero is now likely to come into the home side’s starting eleven.
He may not be the most regular of performers for the club, but his Premier League record is good.
In the seven times he’s played in the English top-flight for United, he’s kept six clean sheets, conceding just two goals.
That may be why some Liverpool fans aren’t exactly jumping for joy that de Gea is potentially out of the fixture, knowing full well just how good back-up goalkeepers can be.
