Conor Bradley is set to spend the next three weeks on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in Liverpool's defeat to Crystal Palace.
Bradley started at right-back for the Reds at Anfield on Sunday but was forced off just three minutes into the second-half.
The defender limped off the pitch to be replaced by Trent Alexander-Arnold, for his first appearance in the top-flight since 10 February.
Boss Jurgen Klopp lamented his injury after the game, with Bradley's spell on the sidelines the latest headache for the German.

"How it is on these days, something like that happens as well. Conor overstretched his foot slightly.
“The first moment and what Conor felt didn't look great, [but] now I heard a little bit that it's settled quite quickly,"
"I don't know. Is the ligament damaged or not? I don't know, so we will get this information tomorrow or Tuesday, but it was very painful for him so that's not cool."
The Athletic reporting he is expected to miss the rest of April. They are said to have hope that he could return for the final weeks of the season
Liverpool will hope the youngster is able to return for the final three weeks of the season when they face Spurs, Aston Villa and Wolves.
Klopp has faced comments that his side is running out of steam heading into the run-in, with the German admitting it is an issue.
Klopp said
"I understand as well, I see the same game like you do. I think for the situation Trent is in, that was really good but I don't think he could now play 120 minutes, let me say it like that.
“A couple of players had to play a lot and a couple of players always were interrupted,"
"It's actually not too interesting for us if we find now the real answer.
“We just have to make sure that we don't think about where we are coming from – whether they are injured or whether they are not.
"We just have to make sure we find a way to beat the specific opponent in front of us. It's always like this.
“The solution is always being really together on the pitch for us. It doesn't feel great anyway because we lost the game and we planned this day completely differently."
