The Spaniard completed 90 minutes at Anfield but underwent a scan on Thursday and is now set for another spell on the sidelines having only just returned from five weeks out with a similar problem.

Defender Fabio Aurelio will be out for a fortnight after picking up a calf problem in the same game.
