Liverpool could lose defender Fabio Aurelio for up to six months after the Brazilian picked up an injury on holiday.
The 29-year-old left-back suffered a twisted knee while playing football with his children and is likely to require surgery.
Aurelio is definitely ruled out for the start of the Premier League season and the club now fear he will be sidelined until the end of the year.
The injury means manager Rafa Benitez is set to pull the plug on Andrea Dossena's potential move to Juventus.
Dossena, 27, has failed to make an impact since his £7 million move from Udinese and it was widely expected that he would return to Italy this summer, with Turin his most likely destination.
That now looks remote, although even with Aurelio's injury, Dossena is still set to play second fiddle to Argentine Emiliano Insua, while Benitez has brought in Chris Mavinga from PSG as further back-up.
