Liverpool are still awaiting the results of a formal assessment of Luis Diaz's knee injury but could reportedly be without the winger until March.
The Colombia international was part of the 33-man squad that flew to Dubai for the Reds' mid-season training programme this week and was poised to make his comeback in Sunday's friendly against Lyon after returning to full training.
However, Diaz was dispatched back to Merseyside on Friday after complaining of discomfort in his knee and will play no part in either this weekend's game or the clash with AC Milan on December 16.
