Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will be sidelined for up to three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury against Atletico Madrid, the Premier League leaders announced on Friday.
Henderson picked up the injury towards the end of the 1-0 defeat to the Spanish side in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday.
The England midfielder has been assessed by Liverpool's medical team and was seen leaving hospital after scans on Friday.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp revealed the time-frame for Henderson's injury at Friday's press conference ahead of Monday's Premier League clash with West Ham.
"We heard of different hamstring injuries now around in the Premier League, Harry Kane, for example," said Klopp. "It's not that bad.
"But he will be out, I think, for three weeks or so, which is not cool. But how we see it, we were still lucky. That's it."
