Shaqiri is now a doubt for the Reds' Premier League clash with Tottenham on March 31 at Anfield.

He was an unused substitute from the bench in Liverpool's 2-1 victory at Fulham on Sunday that sent them back to the top of the table.

Liverpool face a busy period after the international break as they fight for Premier League glory and have a Champions League quarter-final tie against Porto.

Shaqiri has featured largely from the bench this season since joining from Stoke in the summer.

Meanwhile, Andy Robertson has also had to withdraw from international duty.

The Scotland captain needs surgery on an abscess in his mouth.

Robertson linked up with his compatriots after the win over Fulham.

But he will stay in the UK and miss upcoming games against Kazakhstan and San Marino.
