Liverpool have been dealt a big blow after Joel Matip suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee problem that is expected to keep him out of action for up to another six weeks.
The centre-back initially suffered the injury against Sheffield United in September but has suffered a recurrence that will keep him sidelined, according to David Lynch at the Evening Standard.
As a result, he will be absent for up to 10 Liverpool matches, including Premier League fixtures against Manchester City and Everton and the rest of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
