Liverpool rocked by new injury blow with Danny Ings set to miss rest of season

Liverpool have been rocked by the news striker Danny Ings is likely to miss the rest of the season through injury.

Ings, who joined the Reds from Burnley in the summer, ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in training on Wednesday and is facing around six to eight months on the sidelines.

That timescale will also leave him fighting to be fit for next summer’s European Championship finals, having made his debut for England against Lithuania earlier this week.

The news comes as a further blow to new Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp, who has already lost Joe Gomez to a serious injury this week.

Ings' hopes of being involved in Roy Hodgson's squad for next summer's tournament in France are now in serious jeopardy.

He will definitely miss the friendlies with Spain and France next month and is unlikely to be available for the clash with Germany next March.
