Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Roberto Firmino has suffered a “serious” hamstring injury.
Firmino sustained the injury against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening after replacing Sadio Mane at half-time.
The Brazil international has scored six goals in 11 matches this season, including a hat-trick against Watford last month.
Rumours of Huddersfield’s fall have been greatly exaggerated
“Bobby is not good news with a serious hamstring injury, really unfortunate,” Klopp told liverpoolfc.com.
“We don’t know exactly how long he will be out but it will be not now after the international break directly. We have to work on that.”
The Liverpool boss added in his pre-match press conference: “Losing Bobby Firmino is a blow. We have known for two days it was serious. We are talking weeks, still. More than four. I’d consider that a serious injury. Then we have to see. Bobby is a quick healer.”
Defender Joe Gomez and midfielder Curtis Jones also missed the Atletico victory and will not be available for Sunday’s trip to West Ham.
“Curtis is a completely different story; he was very unlucky in training – he got a finger that scratched the eye,” added Klopp.
“I had a lot of injuries to players in my career, that was not involved. He is on the way back but we have to see how long exactly.
“He will be back after the international break, for sure, but in the international break we have to see when he can start doing proper stuff again.
“And Joey, hopefully after the international break as well.”
Klopp also provided an update on James Milner and Naby Keita: “For them, I hope for after the international break, but I don’t know exactly. I cannot promise that but that’s what we’re working on.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed the key reason he has returned to form after impressing in the win against Atletico.
“Yeah, of course. Look, a player like me who sometimes tries to do risky things – run with the ball, drive with the ball – obviously rhythm helps that,” he said.
“Rhythm helps all players, of course, but I think especially me with the way I play, with more game time and games it becomes a bit more natural and I don’t have to think about these things as much.”
“So no, I think it’s getting better but obviously at the minute we’ve got a few injuries in midfield.”
