Ibrahima Konate could be out until the New Year after suffering an injury on Wednesday night, talkSPORT understands.
The Liverpool defender was at his best to help shut out Real Madrid in a 2-0 victory for the Reds, but appeared to suffer a knee injury late in the game.

Konate tangled with Real's young Brazilian winger Endrick, which left him lying prone on the turf.
And while he ultimately was able to complete the 90 minutes, the French man mountain has now confirmed he is set for a spell on the sidelines.
Reports have suggested Konate is facing between five and six weeks out of action.
However, talkSPORT sources understand Liverpool are hoping he will back in contention before the end of that timeframe.
Konate has taken to social media, writing: "So frustrating to pick up this injury right at the end of a great game on Wednesday night.
“Now we start the recovery process but one thing I promise is I will come back and be the best I can be once again.
“Thank you for the amazing support at Anfield. Inshallah we will keep going and I will support the team every step of the way."
