"He will see a specialist on Tuesday to assess the extent of the injury," said club spokesman Ian Cotton.
"We will then have an accurate idea of the timescales involved before he is back playing again."
Skrtel, who was signed from Zenit St Petersburg in January, has forged a solid partnership with Jamie Carragher at the heart of Liverpool's defence.
The Slovakian has kept Daniel Agger out of the side but his injury may open the door for the Dane to return.
Liverpool have conceded only four goals in seven Premier League matches this season and they sit second in the table on goal difference alone.
Rafael Benitez's side have also made a fine start to their Champions League campaign with victories from each of their opening two Group D matches.
