On the eve of the new Premier League campaign, Liverpool's rivals Tottenham Hotspur have been struck by a potentially serve injury blow for James Maddison.
This comes not long after fellow attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott was linked with making the switch to North London.
Spurs, facing Newcastle United in Seoul, South Korea on Sunday, witnessed their No.10 stretchered off in clear distress.
Maddison did not appear to have made contact with an opponent before hopping on one foot and falling to the ground in clear pain, requiring medical treatment.
Awaiting the prognosis, it could end up a problem for manager Thomas Frank who will have ambition to challenge the reigning Premier League champions Liverpool in 2025/26.

If they are required to do so, Spurs will have little under one month to sign a replacement using the open transfer market.
Coincidentally, GIVEMESPORT recently suggested the London club were one of several with eyes on Elliott after a failed attempt to sign Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White.
The 22-year-old claimed a Premier League winner's medal at the end of last season but with a reduced contribution under Arne Slot than he had been allowed under previous boss Jurgen Klopp.
Amongst them was another player to provide competition for his position, Florian Wirtz, who arrived from Bayer Leverkusen for a British record £116m fee.

Elliott has been public about his personal scenario and the decision he must make to stay and fight for a place at Anfield or leave for a fresh challenge.
Speaking to The Anfield Wrap last week, he admitted: "If I had it my way I would be here for the rest of my career, it's as simple as that.
"I love everything about the club, but at the same time I kind of need to be selfish and see what's best for me.
