According to the London Evening Standard, Liverpool defender Joel Matip is facing another six weeks on the sidelines with a knee problem.
The 28-year-old has developed into Virgil van Dijk’s first-choice partner in central defence in 2019 but has missed four of Liverpool’s last five matches.
Matip has been absent from the recent Premier League games with Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur, although he did feature against Manchester United at Old Trafford on October 20th.
According to the London Evening Standard, Matip has had a setback in his recovery from the issue, meaning that the Cameroon international could now be on the sidelines until the middle of December.
As expected, a number of Liverpool fans have been on social media offering their views on the injury update, and it would be fair to say that the news has not been well received by the majority.
