Maximum 2 months. Last paragraph.

Great new's that,will help Rafa decide what to do in term's of transfers.Also the lad was outstanding last year.

Excellent news, they're even hopeful he could be ready in a month!

A big relief.

Yeah with him and Insua fighting for the spot regularly,that should be a strong position.Does look more and more ominous for the Doss though doesn't it.No squad number etc...

Typical of the media to make it sound worse than it is though.

Big up some rumour and then make themselves look stupid when the truth comes out - haha well done Rafa!

It's good news he's out for a max of 2 months

bad news for Aurelio but good news for Insua

Great news, it's on Sky Sports too:

Benitez calms Aurelio fears

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has dismissed fears that Fabio Aurelio could be out of action for six months through injury.

Reports suggested Aurelio could miss the rest of 2009 after picking up a knee injury during a freak accident playing football with his kids in his native Brazil.

Benitez has confirmed Aurelio has undergone surgery on the knee injury, but insists the full-back will only be on the sidelines for up to two months.

"He was injured playing with his son and really disappointed because he was enjoying the summer," Benitez said.

"He had the operation - he has had a problem with his cartilage - so he will be one month, maximum two months, not six months like I see in the press."

Good to hear!

Good news again from Rafa the gaffer, wishing you a speedy recovery Aurelio, can't wait to see you back in action for us fighting for the left back slot with Insua. I'm getting more excited as teh day goes by can't wait for the beginning of the season.

Ahh you beat me to the article Ross! Good news still.

Fabio was boss for us last season, I think he's a very underrated player for us, I'll never forget the goal against the mancs at OT....sublime.

Anyway, accidents happen all the time, I'm just glad, as I'm sure he is, that he's only going to be out for a month or two at the most.

Get better soon Fabio xx

I'm chuffed about that news! And next summer it'll be deck chairs and pina caladas all the way!

I hope that kid gets grounded until Aurelio scores a free kick against the Mancs.

Fabio Aurelio, goal in Manchester United - Liverpool 1-4 , great spanish commentator

Always tickles me that commentary.

The cartilage though? That's a pretty suspect injury to have isn't it?

Haha best foreign commentator ever!

maybe that means Dossena is staying at Lilverpool??
I don't think that Rafa will leave only Insua for a whole half season

The cartilage though? That's a pretty suspect injury to have isn't it?

Does it not need to get operated on? That is suspect alone i think he will be out till the end of the year.

Does it not need to get operated on? That is suspect alone i think he will be out till the end of the year.

Despite the fact Rafa has said two months' maximum?

Right, okay then.

Still, when its cartilage cant see that healing in two months no way

"he has had a problem with his cartilage"

He's had a problem with his cartilage - that doesn't mean to say he's got it now.
