Liverpool Defender Sakho out for up to Three Weeks

After the fiasco that followed on from the Mersyeyside derby, when news of Mamadou Sakho storming out of Anfield reached the press, Brendan Rodgers today reported that the defender is now out for up to three weeks.

The defender has come under some criticism for his performances so far this season, as have all of Liverpool’s defence, and he reportedly took exception to being left out of the starting lineup for the big game on Saturday morning but it now appears that the Frenchman, somewhat coincidentally, is now out for a few weeks with injury.

Speaking at his press conference prior to tomorrow’s game with Basel, Rodgers said “It’s pretty much the same as we were at the weekend apart from that Mamadou Sakho is not here – he has a slight strain, which may have him out for a few weeks.

“His injury came in a training session. It’s unfortunate – he’s just felt a pain in his thigh. He went and had a scan on it which showed he’s got a slight tear in there, which will be probably two to three weeks.”

With the injury to Sakho, Liverpool fans will likely see the partnership between Skrtel and Lovren given a fair run of games up to and, perhaps, after the international break.
