Having been forced to vacate the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships last month, Liv Morgan has now provided an update on the injury that's currently keeping her out of action.

Previously, it was reported that Liv is dealing with a shoulder issue at present, and the former SmackDown Women's Champion has now confirmed such reports.

During an appearance on yesterday's UpUpDownDown live stream, Morgan noted how she's out of action due to a shoulder tear.

Those prior reports suggested that Liv may require surgery to deal with this shoulder injury, and if so, the 28-year-old could be set for a significant spell on the sidelines. Depending on the severity of this tear, Morgan may be looking at several months before she'd be cleared to return to the ring.

Before suffering this injury, Liv was one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez. Those belts are now held by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, with the two MMA veterans having won the gold on last week's Raw in a bout also featuring Rodriguez & Shotzi, Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville, and Bayley & IYO SKY.
