Jürgen Klopp has provided an update on the knee injury Diogo Jota sustained in Wednesday's Champions League clash with FC Midtjylland.
The No.20 will face a spell on the sidelines with the issue but does not require surgery, according to the boss.
Kostas Tsimikas also picked up an injury during the midweek trip to Denmark.*
Speaking about Jota ahead of the Reds' Premier League fixture with Fulham, Klopp told Sky Sports: "Yeah, it's worse than we first thought and better than we then thought.
"All the potential surgeons had a look on it, no surgery needed. But he will be out for a while. We don't know exactly but one-and-a-half, two months. We don't know exactly. It's pretty similar with Kostas Tsimikas, by the way. Unbelievable."
Klopp added: "It was first after the game. We saw the situation when he got it; him himself, nobody would have thought something happened there.
"We got him off the pitch and he said 'I feel a little bit' and next day, scans and then a surgeon has to look at it. That's how we do it, different information. In the end, it's strange but we were happy that we heard the final diagnosis."
