Liverpool may see their attacking department depleted against Nottingham Forest next weekend after Diogo Jota was carried off on a stretcher against Manchester City at Anfield.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers forward started against the reigning Premier League champions but was carried off after collapsing onto the pitch, with the issue appearing to be with the player's right leg after overstretching it. Jota was sidelined for the first six weeks of the season after a recurrence of a hamstring injury during the summer.
Liverpool travel to face Forest for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off this weekend and are also in action against West Ham United on Wednesday night, for which the Portugal international must be considered a major doubt. While the Merseyside club now must wait to discover the extent of the issue, with Jota set to undergo scans to ascertain the seriousness of the problem.
