Liverpool’s Skrtel out with serious injury
Slovakian Martin Skrtel underwent a scan this morning and it was revealed that he has posterior cruciate ligament damage.”Martin underwent a scan this morning which showed damage to the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He will see a specialist tomorrow to assess the extent of the injury and will then have an accurate idea of the timescales involved before he is back playing again.”
The injury most likely occured while battling for a ball against Manchester City’s Chad Evans. While Liverpool won (2-3) the injury to 23 year old Skrtel will probably last several months. After the game Benitez commented about Liverpool’s bid for the EPL Title saying “We have a clear idea of what we have to do. We have to go one game at a time. This was another great win and three points. The main thing from my point of view is the belief of the players.”
With Skrtel out Daniel Agger will most likely start; Agger suffered a metatarsal injury at the beginning of last season.
Agger Injured for season, Skrtel starts
he has become a fundamental force in liverpools defence - agger isnt bad either though its really just a matter of defensive chemistry
