Liverpool have suffered another possible injury blow during the international break after Ibrahima Konate was forced off at half-time for France.
The defender had started the Nations League quarter-final first leg against Croatia on Thursday night.
He endured a difficult half after giving away a penalty for handball, only to have his blushes spared when Mike Maignan kept out Andrej Kramaric's effort.
France, however, did fall behind when Ante Budimir's header bounced in off Maignan in the 26th minute.
Croatia doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time with veteran winger Ivan Persic scoring their second with a fine finish in stoppage time.
