ALBERTO MORENO broke down in tears when leaving the field injured in Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Spartak Moscow.
The left-back appeared to damage his ankle after blocking a shot from the opposition.
Boss Jurgen Klopp took no precautions and substituted the former Sevilla man with James Milner.
But judging by Moreno’s reaction, the 25-year-old may fear he could be sidelined for a while.
Moreno had to be consoled by Philippe Coutinho as he wiped his eyes with his shirt, clearly upset with the injury.
He will now undergo scans to reveal the extent of the injury. His absence will be a major blow with the club coming into the hectic Christmas fixture schedule. Liverpool face a huge Merseyside derby match against Everton on Sunday and also take on Arsenal later in the month.
He has also regained the trust from the manager and fans this season with a string of fine performances.
Liverpool were in cruise control against the Russia side with Coutinho bagging a hat-trick as Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino also got themselves on the scoresheet.
