Liverpool 'Anxious' That Mamadou Sakho Could Miss 9 Months with ACL Injury

Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho looks to have played his last match for the club amid reports he could spend up to nine months on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening.

The France international was forced to withdraw from the 1-0 defeat after falling awkwardly on his leg early in the second half, and James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo wrote he could be absent until well into the 2017-18 campaign.

Palace fear their Liverpool loanee—who moved to south London on temporary terms during the winter transfer window—could have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, with both clubs awaiting scan results.
