Dejan Lovren has travelled to Germany in a bid to end his current injury woes.
Lovren missed Liverpool’s previous two games, against Tottenham and Hull, as well as the club’s training camp in La Manga last week due to a knee problem.
With his involvement in next Monday’s trip to Leicester City looking doubtful, the Croatia international is set to visit a specialist in efforts to properly remedy the issue.
Jurgen Klopp can call upon Ragnar Klavan and Lucas Leiva in Lovren’s absence for the Reds’ visit to the Premier League champions in seven days time.
But the disruption of the defender’s partnership with Joel Matip threatens to disrupt the Liverpool manager’s attempts to get his side’s season back on track.
Klopp has 13 remaining league games to realise the Anfield club’s ambition of reaching a Champions League qualification place.
