Liverpool midfielder James Milner is set to miss the Reds' final pre-season game against Torino on Tuesday, after suffering a significant facial injury in a clash with Napoli's Mario Rui during Liverpool's 5-0 win.
As confirmed on the Reds' official website, the former England international needed 15 stitches after a coming together with Rui, and was forced to leave the field at the Aviva Stadium as a result of the challenge.
Milner, who captained Jurgen Klopp's side before being withdrawn, will almost certainly miss the visit of Torino at Anfield as well as requiring late fitness tests for Sunday's opening game against West Ham.
