Liverpool confirm Nathaniel Clyne is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne is set to miss around six months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in pre-season.
The 28-year-old suffered the injury in the closing moments of Friday's 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana.
Clyne flew to Boston for Liverpool's next match against Sevilla but after initial swelling went down, tests confirmed the injury and he flew back to Liverpool from Boston.
Liverpool team doctors are optimistic about the injury, however, as there is no additional damage, and as such Clyne is expected to be in line to return after six months rather than the nine which some who suffer the same injury can be sidelined for.
The injury's impact on Clyne's long-term Liverpool future is unclear.
Clyne is entering the final year of his contract at Anfield and he has lost his position as the club's starting right-back to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Clyne made just four Premier League appearances in the first half of the 2018-19 season before moving to Bournemouth on loan for the second half of the season.

I don't just want to see Milner or Joe Gomez playing backup in that position that's all
I agree. we need to purchase a back up in this window.

he needs to leave LIVERPOOL 'cause he is good player but for some reason things are not going well for him, a new club/start can help him change things around. when joined LIVERPOOL he was a player with lots of potential but his bad luck. injuries didn't help so he should try to turn things around at some other club. He's a much better player but injuries are really ruining his chances.

this man is unlucky...like robben...he could have been one of the best right back in the world...he was better than arnold..but the injuries destroyed him๐.. quick recovery clyne
He was never better than Arnold, he was just in the first team ahead of Trent, he is a decent right back tho and i wish him speedy recovery

That's not a good news at all, Klopp now have more than enough reasons to dip his hand into Liverpool's bag and bring in back up players if he wants to build on last season's momentum.

This guy should be sold he adds no value to Liverpool fc.
Something called bench players, he would be good in carabao cup for example when thereโs no point playing first team
