Liverpool forward Iago Aspas has been ruled out for around six weeks after tearing a thigh muscle in training.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Reds from Celta Vigo in June, is expected to return to action early in December.

Aspas suffered the injury during a training session at Melwood on Thursday and was then assessed by the club's medical staff.

He has started four Premier League games for Liverpool so far as well as making two further appearances from the substitutes' bench.
