Liverpool boss Matt Beard has revealed winger Melissa Lawley could be sidelined for around six months with a hip injury.
Lawley made an impressive start to the campaign. However, she hasn't made a competitive start for the Reds since their 1-0 defeat to Leicester City in early February. The 29-year-old made her long-awaited return to the matchday squad in last weekend's Women's Super League clash with Brighton, coming off the bench to help the Reds claim all three points against the Seagulls.
However, Beard has now confirmed Lawley won't feature again this term and will need to undergo surgery on the hip issue that has been plaguing her for much of the season.
