Jose Enrique could be out of action for six weeks with a hamstring tear, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed.

The in-form defender was forced from the pitch during Liverpool's 3-0 win over QPR on December 30.

And Rodgers told his pre-Mansfield press conference: "He has looked fantastic in the games but it looks like he'll probably be out for up to six weeks with his hamstring.

"It's a shame because in the game he felt nothing. Sometimes you can enter the games and be tight and stiff. He felt great, and even within the game."
