LIVERPOOL have been rocked with Martin Skrtel set to be ruled out for the season.
The Reds centre-back was carried off on a stretcher in yesterday's victory at Manchester City after landing awkwardly.
And the club have confirmed that a scan this morning has shown that the Slovakian ace has damaged the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
A club spokeman said: "He will see a specialist tomorrow to assess the extent of the injury and will then have an accurate idea of the timescales involved before he is back playing again."
Liverpool do have plenty of cover at centre-back with Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Sami Hyppia.

Good for him! His fall looked real bad.
