Liverpool defender Jose Enrique is facing at least six weeks on the sidelines after tearing his hamstring against QPR. Enrique was replaced by Suso for the final 20 minutes of the 3-0 victory at Loftus Road on what was otherwise a very satisfactory occasion for the Reds. Assistant manager Colin Pascoe was asked about the extent of Enrique's injury and he said: "Unfortunately it looks like he's got a tear in his hamstring. "He was terrific today, absolutely superb, and the way he's been performing these last couple of months has been a joy to watch. "It's a shame, and hopefully he's not out for too long." Spanish defender Enrique later said on Twitter: "Great win by the team today and thanks for all your support and messages for my injured leg. Hope to be back soon."
