Liverpool striker Christian Benteke will have an MRI scan on his injured hamstring on Tuesday.
Benteke was substituted at half-time during Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Norwich but manager Brendan Rodgers was quick to play down any fears he had suffered an injury, insisting the decision was precautionary.
"His hamstring felt a little bit tight, so we didn't want to take a risk," Rodgers said.
But assistant manager Gary McAllister confirmed in a press conference on Tuesday that Benteke will undergo a scan on his thigh on the eve of Liverpool's Capital One Cup clash with Carlisle at Anfield.
"Christian is going to have an MRI scan today and hopefully we'll find the problem. He's got a little problem in his hamstring," McAllister said.
Belgium international Benteke has been in good form since he arrived at Liverpool from Aston Villa in the summer, scoring two Premier League goals in six starts.
His acrobatic strike in the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United was heralded by boss Rodgers, who will be at pains to lose the forward to injury.
