Lucas will miss the next 5 - 6 weeks with a quad problem, ruling him out of Liverpool's Europa League ties against Manchester United.

The midfielder picked up a thigh strain after the Red's defeat against Manchester City at Wembley and missed their win at Anfield this week.

"It is really unfortunate and a little bit more serious as I've never heard of an injury like this with a penalty" he said.

"I don't know exactly how long but he'll be out for five to six weeks"

Reds boss Klopp says Liverpool are still in the race for the top four, but only if they stay 'angry' after their emphatic 3-0 win on Tuesday.
