Rafa Benitez fears Liverpool's Martin Skrtel could be set for an extended spell on the sidelines after injuring his knee against Manchester City.
The Reds stopper fell awkwardly late on when attempting to keep the ball away from substitute Ched Evans at The City of Manchester Stadium.
Skrtel was caught in the air by Evans and upon landing his right leg caught in the ground and he needed to be stretched off with his leg heavily strapped.
Benitez has confirmed Skrtel will have a scan on Monday, although should he require any length of time on the sidelines Daniel Agger is on stand-by to fill in.
"It seems serious. He's twisted his knee and now we have to wait for the scan," the Spanish tactician told Sky Sports.
