Thiago Alcantara has added to Liverpool's mounting injury problems with a setback that could not be worse timed for Jurgen Klopp.
The Spain international underwent a scan on Monday to determine the damage to his left hamstring sustained in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Fulham and had further tests on Tuesday which confirmed he will miss the rest of this month at the very least.
It is a huge blow for Klopp, as Thiago's influence on Liverpool's team is huge. He can ill-afford to be without a player of such creativity, particularly at a time when his options in midfield have been severely depleted.
