The England international has not featured all season because of the issue and faces a further lay-off after he had an operation on Monday, Press Association Sport understands.

Earlier this month manager Jurgen Klopp admitted Clyne's recovery had gone backwards.

"He was in a good way and then had a little setback. That's how back problems are," he said on November 3.
