It is unclear as of yet how serious the injury is, but it comes after Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk all returned from the international break with other injuries.
None of the other injuries are expected to be massively serious, but just days away from facing Huddersfield, it is not welcome news.
