Curtis Jones will be sidelined for "at least few weeks", as Liverpool have confirmed in an injury update on the midfielder.
"It’s a freak injury and very unlucky, but the important thing to emphasise is there is no lasting damage and his vision won’t be impacted beyond the recovery period.
"However, the nature of the issue means caution is important; we need to allow it time to heal and we can’t rush it, therefore it won’t be a speedy return.
"We can’t put a specific timescale on a return beyond it will be a number of weeks from now as it heals naturally, so it’s not one we will risk and patience is a virtue with this specific recovery."
Curtis suffered a finger in the eye during a training session and was forced to miss the Atletico Madrid at home and the West Ham games.
The midfielder has made 9 appearances across all competitions for the Reds so far, scoring a goal and providing two assists.
