Some Liverpool fans on Twitter are understandably absolutely gutted after it was confirmed by the club’s official account that James Milner picked up a hamstring injury during Saturday’s match against Brighton.
The Reds have had the most rotten luck with injuries this term, and Milner joins the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez on the treatment table.
Yet, despite all of these problems, Liverpool remain at the top of the Premier League, but it will grow increasingly tougher for them to continue their good form if their squad continues to be depleted week after week.
As you can imagine, supporters on social media weren’t best pleased with the news that Milner picked up a hamstring issue.
Hamstring injuries are no laughing matter either, and depending on whether this is a pull, a tweak or a tear, Milner could be out for weeks or months.
It remains to be seen just how serious the ex-Manchester City man’s problem is, but either way, it’s not good news for the Anfield outfit.
