Liverpool defender Joe Gomez faces at least six weeks on the sidelines with a fractured leg after he was pictured leaving hospital on crutches on Thursday.
Gomez was seen hobbling to the Spire hospital, having been taken off on a stretcher in the win over Burnley on Wednesday night.
And Liverpool have now confirmed that he will be out for the rest of 2018 with his return 'dependent on how his treatment and rehabilitation programmes progress'.
Gomez also wore a protective boot on his left ankle after being taken off away at Burnley
The England international was forced to unsteadily make his way up the disabled ramp to the hospital and wore a protective boot on his left foot.
