LONDON: New signing Adam Lallana could miss the start of the season for Liverpool after sustaining a knee injury in training in the United States, the club said yesterday.
The 26-year-old midfielder, who moved to Anfield from Southampton earlier this month strained a ligament during a session at the Reds’ Harvard University training base in Boston.
There was no word on how long he would be sidelined for, but such injuries can result in a spell of anywhere up to six weeks out of action.
By chance Liverpool’s season-opener is at home to Southampton on August 17.
He has been assessed by Liverpool’s medical staff and does not require surgery.
