Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to miss this weekend's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United through injury, but could return before the end of the season.
Alexander-Arnold limped off in the second half of Liverpool's Champions League round-of-16 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, with the Premier League leaders ultimately exiting the competition on penalties.
He was replaced by Jarell Quansah, who is now likely to start at Wembley, having been called up to Thomas Tuchel's first England squad on Friday.
"Trent is not available," head coach Arne Slot confirmed in a news conference on Friday.
"He will not be there at the final. He's still to be assessed for how long it's going to take but we do expect him back before the end of the season."
Centre-back Ibrahima Konaté is also set to be assessed after being substituted in extra-time against PSG.
Looking ahead to this weekend's final, Slot said: "We're really looking forward to playing in a final again, because you cannot take a final for granted, especially not in this country with so many good teams involved in every cup competition.
"We're looking forward to being part of it and if you are part of it of course you want to try to win it, but of course that's what Newcastle want as well."
