Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge could be sidelined until the new year after his latest injury setback.
The 25-year-old underwent scans yesterday after pulling out of a training session earlier this week with a thigh problem.
While the injury is not a recurrence of the one he sustained on international duty with England in early September, it's understood it could keep him out for up to six weeks.
Sturridge has not played for his club since August 31 as he strained a calf on his return to training after recovery from his initial thigh injury.
