Martin Skrtel may face a lengthy spell out after suffering posterior cruciate ligament damage to his right knee in Sunday's 3-2 win over Manchester City.

The 23-year-old defender needed oxygen and left the field on a stretcher after falling awkwardly late on at Eastlands.

"He will see a specialist on Tuesday to assess the extent of the injury," said club spokesman Ian Cotton.

"We will then have an accurate idea of the timescales involved before he is back playing again."

Skrtel, who was signed from Zenit St Petersburg in January, has forged a solid partnership with Jamie Carragher at the heart of Liverpool's defence.

The Slovakian has kept Daniel Agger out of the side but his injury may open the door for the Dane to return.

Liverpool have conceded only four goals in seven Premier League matches this season and they sit second in the table behind Chelsea on goal difference. Rafael Benitez's side have also made a fine start to their Champions League campaign, with victories from each of their opening two Group D matches.
