Rodgers told BBC Sport “It doesn’t look too good.<\/p>\n
“To lose him going into an important stage of the season would be a massive blow,” added Rodgers.<\/p>\n
“We would have to do something. Obviously we’ve got Alan Tate coming back this week which is great for us.<\/p>\n
“But we would certainly need to reinforce by bringing in another defender.”<\/p>\n
Brendan also told the official site\u00a0\u00a0“We won’t know the full extent of the injury until he has the scan, but I will be devastated for him if it’s a bad one.<\/p>\n
“I’m gutted for him, especially after getting his first goal of the season today.<\/p>\n
“It will be a massive blow for us if it’s serious because he’s a fantastic captain for me and this club – on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n
“He’s a great man and a great leader of this group. He’s honest and we speak a lot together. He’s a proper captain who works with his manager rather than against him.<\/p>\n
“It’s the same knee as before when he missed nearly the whole season (2006-07) with ligament (ACL) damage.<\/p>\n
“Let’s not write him off just yet, but we would certainly need to bring in another defender in the window as reinforcement if he’s out for any length of time.”<\/p>\n
