Daniel Sturridge is becoming a major concern for Liverpool after the striker suffered an unusual reaction to his latest knee injury.
Initially the knock was supposed to be a minor one – but the club’s medics are considering their options because identifying the problem is proving a tricky one.
Sturridge was ruled out of last week’s opening game of Jurgen Klopp’s reign at White Hart Lane after picking up a problem in the build-up to the clash against Tottenham.
He has no chance of involvement in this afternoon’s game against Southampton.
The usual procedure is to send the player for a scan. However, the swelling has not subsided.
This has increased fears that the England striker may be suffering from something more serious, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.
Sturridge, who signed a lengthy deal when Brendan Rodgers was in charge the Anfield club, was the subject of frustration during Klopp’s pre-match press conference on Friday.
The club’s new boss answered truthfully: “I don’t know,” when quizzed about the forward’s state of fitness.
However, it appears that on this occasion the Anfield ace may need further recuperation before the full extent of his injury can be confirmed.
