Adam Lallana may miss a visit to his former club Southampton on Saturday because of the groin problem that forced him off in England’s draw against Spain.
The Liverpool midfielder opened the scoring in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at Wembley, his third goal in three games for England, but hobbled off in the 27th minute after a challenge by Thiago Alcântara.
Lallana was assessed by Liverpool’s medical staff on his return to Melwood on Wednesday and may require a scan to determine the extent of the injury. That would take place on Thursday and should he be deemed a risk for Saturday’s Premier League trip to St Mary’s, Lallana would be unlikely to feature against his former club.
The 28-year-old has been in outstanding form for club and country this season and his absence would be a setback for Jürgen Klopp’s league-leading side. Lallana missed England’s internationals against Malta and Slovenia last month with a groin problem but as yet there is no indication that he faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
