Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard faces three weeks on the sidelines after suffering a torn hamstring.
Gerrard was forced off early on in Wednesday's FA Cup relay defeat at Everton after picking up a hamstring problem.
Scans have confirmed Gerrard has suffered a tear to his left hamstring which is likely to rule him out of action for up to three weeks.
It means Gerrard will miss this weekend's trip to Portsmouth as well as England's friendly with Spain next week.
The news is a massive blow to Liverpool's title challenge as their talisman will also miss the home clash with Manchester City on 22nd February and possibly the UEFA Champions League tie with Real Madrid three days later.
A club spokesman told Liverpool's official website: "A scan today has confirmed a tear in the hamstring of Steven's left leg. He will be out of action for about three weeks."
