• Defender suffered knee problem in September• Reds plan to ease back Matip in late November
Liverpool could be without Joël Matip until after the next international break because of the knee injury that has restricted the defender to one appearance in the last month.
Matip suffered a kick to the knee in the win at Sheffield United on 28 September and returned to the side against
Manchester United following a three-week recovery period. The central defender felt the injury again at Old Trafford, however, and
Liverpool plan to ease his return to full fitness.
