Liverpool forward Danny Ings has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering an injury setback.

Danny Ings will not play again this season, after the Liverpool forward suffered another injury setback.

Ings was dealt a cruel blow when he injured his cruciate knee ligament after appearing to be settling at Anfield following his off-season move from Burnley.

"When I got the injury I said straight away I will play again before the season finishes," Ings told NBC Sports.

"But I think with the advice I've had of the surgeons and physios, I know they won't risk me and I don't want to risk it myself.

"This is all about the highs and lows of football. I was at the happiest point of my career and then, at the time of the injury, I felt like I was at my lowest point."

"I just felt like I got my foot in the door," Ings said.

"I was becoming established here at Liverpool, playing games and scoring goals, keeping my place in the team and had made my debut for England, then somebody took that all away from me.

"It is absolutely gutting because football has been my life. If I can't do what I love doing then it is like someone having their kids taken away from them.

"That is how I felt. I know that I am going to come back extremely strong."
