Jurgen Klopp has issued an update on the injury suffered by Sadio Mane in Saturday's 3-1 win over Everton and it's not encouraging.
The Senegal international opened the scoring in the game but limped off early in the second half after appearing to turn his ankle.
Although the Liverpool boss was unable to confirm exactly what the problem is, the fact it isn't a straightforward knock or muscle injury could mean the attacker has suffered ligament damage.
“When I saw him in the dressing room, it didn’t look like he’ll be ready for Wednesday," Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.
“We will see, hopefully it’s not that serious, but of course it’s not nothing and that makes our life not easier, I would say.
“I don’t want to speculate now. Obviously he has pain and it didn’t look like it’s only a knock or a muscle or something, but we have to wait.
“When I came in I was looking for him immediately and I saw him on the bed. He’d already had treatment, and it didn’t look like he felt really comfortable.”
