Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Fabio Borini suffered an ankle injury during this afternoon's clash with Manchester United.

The complaint forced the Italian striker to be replaced at the break by Spanish youngster Suso.

Discussing the problem, Rodgers admitted that the club's medical staff were unsure as to the severity of the injury.

"Fabio had a badly swollen ankle and was struggling to put any sort of force on the floor, so we'll assess that tomorrow and see how he is. It looked badly bruised at half-time," Rodgers told the club's official website.

Borini joined the Reds from Roma in the summer.
