Liverpool striker Danny Ings is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury, sources have told ESPN FC.
England international Ings suffered the injury in training at Melwood on Wednesday and scans have confirmed that he has torn his cruciate ligament.
He is set to miss at least six months, which means he is likely to miss the remainder of the season and is unlikely to be fully fit for England at the 2016 European Championship.
The 23-year-old made his England debut in Monday's 3-0 win in Lithuania in the final Euro 2016 qualifier, which may lead to an increase in his transfer fee, according to the Daily Mirror.
The fee is due to be set at a tribunal in December after Liverpool failed to agree a price with Burnley when Ings moved to Anfield after the expiry of his contract in the summer.
Liverpool, who will be without Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino for Saturday's trip to Tottenham, have also seen defender Joe Gomez ruled out long-term this week.
