Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas is set for a short spell on the sidelines due to an ankle injury.
The Greece international sustained the injury during a training session.
Prior to his injury, the 28-year-old left-back, who has made 11 appearances in all competitions this season, had been in good form for league leaders Liverpool.
His start to the campaign had seen Liverpool head coach Arne Slot rotate him with starting left-back Andy Robertson.
Tsimikas was not in the squad for Liverpool’s 3-2 victory over Southampton on Sunday.
He joins Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, Federico Chiesa, and Diogo Jota on Liverpool’s injury list.
Slot said last week that he does not expect either Alisson or Jota to be available for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid, but Alexander-Arnold has a chance of being fit.
After the game against Real Madrid, Liverpool, who are eight points clear at the top of the Prermier League, face second-placed Manchester City on Sunday.
