Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva will have to wait to find out the extent of the injury that forced him off the pitch in Saturday’s Merseyside derby.

The 28 year old was forced off the pitch after only 15 minutes with what appeared to be an aggravation of an old thigh injury.

The injury has come at a bad time for Lucas who has only just broken back into the first team in the last few months. In fact, Liverpool’s good form only picked up speed once the Brazilian had returned to the sidein November.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers understands that his side will have to cope with such issues from now until the season’s end.

“The only downfall of being in cup competitions is the number of games, but whatever happens with injuries to players the squad will be better for the experience.”
