Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has confirmed he will be sidelined for six weeks through injury.

The Slovakia defender picked up the injury during the first half of Liverpool's disappointing 3-0 Premier League loss at Watford on Sunday.

   In a post on his Instagram account, Skrtel said he had suffered a tear in his hamstring and tendon.
He wrote: "I will work hard on my recovery and will do everything to come back as soon as possible and even stronger than before."
Skrtel has been ever-present for Liverpool this season, making 26 appearances in all competitions.
