Johnson suffered the injury against rivals Manchester United last week.
The Sunday People reports that Johnson’s injury has forced Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers d to stop Andrew Wisdom going out on loan.
Wisdom was strongly linked with loan moves to the likes of Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn, but the England Under-21 star has now been told he has to stay at Anfield.
Rodgers could hand new French defender Mamadou Sakho a quick start at Anfield, at left-back.
