Adam Lallana was missing from Liverpool training at Melwood today - and is set to miss up to four weeks with an injury picked up on international duty.

Liverpool players returned to Melwood on Monday for a double session and returned to West Derby for another work-out today.

While Lallana's international colleague with England, Nathaniel Clyne took part in team training, there was no sign of Lallana. Admittedly Clyne did not play against Lithuania but a normal rhythm would have had Lallana back with the team today.

It is understood Lallana suffered a problem with his thigh and could miss up to four weeks despite completing the full game for England.

The midfielder played 66 minutes against Germany last Wednesday before playing a full 90 minutes in the qualifier against Lithuania.

Afterwards, Lallana posted on Instagram: "Two great finishes from two top centre forwards.... fantastic to have a chance to share a pitch with Jermain Defoe this week - been on the receiving end of his quality enough times as an opponent.... nice to able to celebrate as a team-mate today. Back to Liverpool and derby week!"

That appeared relatively upbeat but there are suggestions a problem with his thigh has flared since.

It is another significant blow to Jurgen Klopp's planning ahead of the Merseyside derby with several other stars already likely to miss out.

Jordan Henderson - who travelled with the squad attended the warm weather training in Tenerife last week - has not yet trained outside, making a start against Everton at Anfield on Saturday most unlikely.

Daniel Sturridge is in a similar boat, his troublesome hip not yet sufficiently recovered to allow him into team training.

Klopp's tendency in the past is to need to see two or three days of full training before considering a player for a start.

Lucas Leiva would be the obvious candidate to step into midfield with Lallana missing.
