Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is expected to miss the rest of September in the latest of the club's midfield injury blows, while the Reds have added seven of their younger stars to their Champions League squad.
Henderson limped off in the second half of last week's 2-1 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League with a hamstring complaint, an injury which prompted the Reds to make a transfer deadline day move for Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo.
After taking their time to examine Henderson, the Reds now expect him to be out action until the start of October, ensuring that, having already missed last Saturday's Merseyside derby, he will also sit out the club's next four games across the Champions League and Premier League.
