Lovren out for 'two to three weeks'

The Croatian Football Federation has released a statement claiming Liverpool center back Dejan Lovren will soon be back in action.

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren will be sidelined for two to three weeks, according to a statement released by the Croatian Football Federation (HNS).

Lovren left the field wearing an oxygen mask and bleeding from the knee following a heavy challenge from Craig Gardner during his Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw with West Brom.

Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp played down fears that the center back was set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines and Lovren's national federation has since liaised with Liverpool's medical staff.
