Lucas will miss the remainder of Liverpool's season with knee ligament damage

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva will miss the rest of the season following confirmation that the Brazil international has knee ligament damage.

The Premier League side have announced that the 24-year-old has caused damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee following a scan on the injury.

The playmaker was stretchered off during Liverpool's 2-1 win over Chelsea in the Carling Cup at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

It appears that Lucas's long-term injury prompted the Reds to recall Jonjo Shelvey from loan club Blackpool.
