Jordon Ibe looks set to spend March on the sidelines after picking up a knee ligament injury.

The 19-year-old has been in impressive form for Liverpool in the last month, putting in a string of good performances in the right wing-back role after returning from a loan spell at Derby County.

However, Ibe was forced off against Besiktas in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, and subsequently missed Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win over Manchester City.

"Jordon Ibe will be out for a few weeks," Brendan Rodgers said. "He'll be back towards end of March."
