Liverpool's Thiago Alcantara has been ruled out of action for at least a month after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Reds' 2-2 draw at Fulham on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
The Spanish playmaker was replaced after 51 minutes of the clash with the Cottagers at Craven Cottage, and joins fellow midfielders Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the sidelines.
"We have injuries, that's how it is. It is a question of how long will the players be out," said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in his press conference ahead of his side's visit to Crystal Palace on Monday.
"Thiago is good but the injury is not good. I read four to six weeks. I would prefer four," he added.
