Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has revealed he will not play again this season.
The Spaniard, 18, sat out last night’s 1-0 defeat at the Bernabeu as the Reds were beaten 6-2 on aggregate by Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Boss Jurgen Klopp revealed before the game that Bajcetic’s absence was due to a stress response around his abductor.
And the player took to Instagram earlier today to share the news that the injury had curtailed his season.
He said: “Unfortunately, I’ve picked up an injury that will keep me out until the end of the season.
“It’s very sad to say goodbye to this amazing season for me but I understand this is part of football and will only make me stronger physically and mentally.
“I would also like to say thank you to you Reds for all the support through the season and I assure you I will do my best to be back stronger than ever.”
Speaking prior to the defeat in Spain, Klopp said: “With Stefan, it is a stress response, which is absolutely bad.
“So he doesn’t feel a lot, it’s only a little bit but he is now out for I don’t know exactly how long.
“We have just to let it settle then and we will see when he can come back.”
Due to Fulham’s involvement in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend and the international break, Liverpool will not return to action until they head to Premier League champions Manchester City on April 1.
