Daniel Agger and Xabi Alonso could be out for up to six weeks after both suffered broken metatarsals.

Agger had been playing with the injury but complained of soreness ahead of Tuesday's Champions League draw in Porto. Midfielder Alonso suffered the injury in Saturday's draw at Portsmouth and limped out of training on Monday.

"Neither player requires surgery but we expect them to be out for between four and six weeks," said a spokesman.
