Ings, 24, only came off the bench for the final 22 minutes of the League Cup win over Tottenham last month when he jolted his leg in a tackle.

Kop medics initially thought the problem would clear up once it had settled down, but he was sent for deeper diagnosis when it got no better.

And now both the Kop hitman and manager Klopp have been left stunned at facing another lengthy battle to return.

Despite not featuring much under the German, Ings has impressed Klopp hugely with his attitude and determination to prove himself.
