Liverpool are set to be without Thiago Alcantara for the next month as the severity of the Spanish midfielder's hip flexor injury was revealed, while the Reds have also suffered another long-term injury blow.
Thiago suffered the problem in training in the past week, and was immediately ruled out of Monday's Merseyside derby by Jurgen Klopp.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich man joins a long list of Liverpool's absentees, and he now faces a race against time to be back for the Champions League last-16 second leg tie against Real Madrid on March 15.
