Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will be out of action for two to three weeks after sustaining a hamstring strain in Wednesday’s 1-0 win against Marseille.
The Spaniard completed 90 minutes but a scan revealed he needs another spell on the sidelines having just returned from five weeks out with a similar problem.
Defender Fabio Aurelio will also be out for a fortnight with a calf injury.
The victory over Marseille at Anfield earned Rafa Benitez’s side a place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
A club spokesman told www.liverpoolfc.tv: “Fernando has a strain in his right hamstring and will be out of action for between two and three weeks.
“Fabio has a calf strain in his left leg and will be out for two weeks.”
Steven Gerrard scored the winner against Group D rivals Marseill, heading in at the far post from Xabi Alonso’s cross on 23 minutes.
