Liverpool star Adam Lallana heads for Qatar for specialist treatment as injury hell drags on
ADAM LALLANA has been sent to Qatar as his injury hell continues.
The Liverpool ace was supposed to be out until the end of September after picking up a thigh injury in pre-season.
But his recovery schedule has been put back and he will head for the Middle East to continue his rehab.
Lallana still has no date set for his recovery and will be sent to the Aspetar clinic for a change of scenery.
His treatment will be monitored by a member of the club's medical staff as they push to get him back.
Liverpool are not the only team to miss the playmaker, with England chief Gareth Southgate praising the Reds star.

He said: "In my year in charge, Adam Lallana has been our best player and we've not had him for the last three matches.
"There are some players who can unlock defences and score goals.
"Dele is an interesting player. If you analyse his game closely he's a scorer of goals and he's not necessarily the link player Adam is.
"So, perceptions of players and their actual particular skill sets and areas where they are effective is not what's commonly perceived. I go to games and I look at one person and how he plays, so you see the different attributes.
"Dele's biggest strengths are arriving in the box, timing his runs, finishing and scoring goals. If he can add consistency into his touch and creativity of pass into that, he'll be a better player than he already is."
