Liverpool defender Daniel Agger could have suffered a medial ligament injury, which could rule him out for the rest of the season, after being stretchered off in his side's defeat to Manchester United.
Following the controversial 2-1 loss, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers talked about the injuries sustained by two of his players.
He said: 'Fabio (Borini) had a badly swollen ankle. Agger's doesn't look good, the medics were saying it might be a medial ligament. We'll see.'
Robin van Persie's late penalty secured Manchester United's first victory at Anfield since December 2007.
But the home side had to play 51 minutes of the game with ten men after Jonjo Shelvey was sent off for a lunge against Johnny Evans.
Despite this, Liverpool managed to take the lead through Steven Gerrard just after half time, but the Reds were then pegged back through a Rafael da Silva wonder goal.
United took the lead when Robin van Persie scored a penalty after Antonio Valencia had been fouled by Glen Johnson in the area.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who had a confrontation with Shelvey after he was sent off, admitted his team had been far from their best.
'A win's a win, so we've got to be pleased with the result, but not the performance,' he told Sky Sports 1.
