Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has suffered an injury blow.
Jones will miss their Premier League season opener against Fulham after suffering a calf injury this week.
The Merseyside club are awaiting specialist opinion on the injury which could leave the 21-year-old sidelined for between two to four weeks, says the Athletic.
The injury comes as a massive blow for Jurgen Klopp, who only recently announced that he will be without fellow midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the foreseeable future.
Jones came off the bench during their 3-1 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield on Saturday - but was pictured in a protective boot during the team's final pre-season game against Strasbourg just one day later.
Once a specialist has analysed the injury, the club will have a greater understanding on the duration of time he'll be out for - which they hope will be closer to two weeks.
