Roy Hodgson expects Paul Konchesky to miss Liverpool's forthcoming games this week after suffering a hamstring strain.
The visit of newly-promoted Blackpool to Anfield next weekend follows a trip to Utrecht in the Europa League but the Reds will be without their first-choice left-back, 29, after he suffered the injury during yesterday's 2-2 draw with Sunderland.
Although Hodgson could not determine the extent of the damage, he does not expect Konchesky, signed from former club Fulham last month, to be sidelined beyond the two matches, with Daniel Agger expected to deputise in his absence.
"He's got a hamstring strain," he sad.
"I couldn't tell you exactly how bad it is yet.
"I don't think it's extremely bad but I certainly think it would rule him out for Thursday and next Sunday.
"Hopefully it won't be much more problematic."
