Liverpool midfielder James Milner will sit out their clash with Arsenal at the weekend, after the 32-year-old missed the 4-0 win over Newcastle with a reported hamstring injury.
The news comes after Jurgen Klopp's press conference before the visit of Arsenal on Saturday where, as reported by James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo, he explained that the match will come too soon for Milner, but he should be back in contention for the crucial fixture with Manchester City in early January.
He becomes the latest player to face a spell on the sidelines, after being tasked with offering emergency cover at right back in recent weeks due to injuries to Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
