Liverpool waits on Sakho scan results

Liverpool is set to find out the full extent of Mamadou Sakho's injury after the player underwent a scan on Monday.

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho underwent scans on Monday, having hurt his left knee during the 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace at the weekend. The Premier League club is now waiting to find out the full extent of the layoff.

Sakho was forced off late in the first half at Anfield on Sunday after landing awkwardly following an aerial challenge. He was spotted arriving for his scan in Liverpool on crutches a day later.

The France international withdrew from his country's squad for the friendlies with Germany and England as a result of the injury, although reports on Merseyside have suggested there is no anterior cruciate ligament injury.
