Liverpool have received a boost after it emerged the head injury suffered by Marko Grujic against Chelsea is not serious.
The 20-year-old had to go off at half-time during the 1-0 International Champions Cup defeat to Chelsea in California on Thursday, after colliding with Blues defender Bertrand Traore and was consequently taken to a hospital in Pasadena.
However, it appears to be unlikely Grujic will be able to play against AC Milan on Sunday in Santa Clara.
As yet, it has not been announced how long the Serbian winger is expected to be sidelined, although the standard recovery period from concussion is two weeks.
That means he could also be a doubt to take on Roma on Tuesday, games against Barcelona and Mainz next weekend.
Indeed, it may mean he will not be in a position to play once again until the opening Premier League fixture of the season away to Arsenal on August 14.
Grujic signed for Liverpool in January but was loaned back to previous club Red Star Belgrade and is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Anfield side.
