Rafa Benitez has confirmed that the injury sustained by Fabio Aurelio in Eindhoven could well be serious.
Liverpool's Brazilian wideman will undergo a scan on Wednesday after being stretchered off during the second leg of The Reds' 3-0 win over PSV in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
Initial reports suggested that Aurelio had suffered a ruptured Achilles, an injury that would likely threaten his participation for the rest of the season.
Whilst Benitez could not confirm the extent of the blow, the Spanish tactician admitted that he fears the worst over his summer signing from Valencia.
"We need to wait, it seems serious," Benitez told the website.
"He has an Achilles tendon injury and we can see tomorrow (Wednesday) when we do a scan. It seems serious."
