Aquilani out of Benfica game

Alberto Aquilani has been ruled out of Liverpool's Europa League clash with Benfica, manager Rafael Benitez today confirmed.

The Italian international sustained an ankle injury in training this morning and won't be with the Reds' squad which flies to Lisbon later today.

"He will not be available for this game," said Benitez. "He had a problem with his ankle this morning and we have to fix it.

"It doesn't seem too serious but it's the same ankle as before and so we'll have to analyse the situation carefully."

Benitez also confirmed defender Martin Kelly will undergo a knee operation today which will rule him out of action for the rest of the season.

Not too sure how to quote a news piece but seems Aquilani has injured his ankle again (same one)...

Cocks!

F**k.

That's him not starting again this season then....

Referee!!! What the F**k do our players do in training? Play rugby?

Fingers crossed it's precautionary.

This really annoys me, can he not go 2 games without being injured again?
F**k

20 million seems to be a waste now right?

Bollocks

Referee!!! What the f**k do our players do in training? Play rugby?

Fingers crossed it's precautionary.

Must be rat-boy disguised as Lucas in order for Lucas to get a game

Maybe it's only an ankle injury virus and he'll be back and recovered for the weekend?

For F**k's sake.

What is it with us and injuries.  Do we purposely go out and by injury prone players!

I wish injuries didn't exist. 

So to those saying Aquilani was fit enough to play this whole time...

The fella's a walking sicknote!

Id say you could be right mono! So pissed off right now!

Not sure Id have gone with him tomorrow anyway.

Gerrard to get more games in centre mid then?

Not sure Id have gone with him tomorrow anyway.

Probably not but this is getting beyond annoying.

If we're buying anyone in the summer I hope they're not going to turn out like this.  We do not need another injury prone player.

Play Gerrard centrally, we managed without Lucas and Aquilani against Sunderland (excluding Aquilani's cameo)

No need to change a winning team but of course for Maxi who's cup tied, Babel Right Yossi left or vice versa.

God he's fragile   Hope it's not too serious.

I know he's injury prone but could it be anything to do with our training regime?

I mean we've had a horrible run of injuries and stevie and nando have there annual injury lay offs?

Not sure Id have gone with him tomorrow anyway.

I wouldn't have played him in Benfica either. And to be honest, I'm not sure I would have played him at Birmingham.

He's pretty clearly fu**ed.  This season has been a total write-off.  Let's hope it's not his career (or we're insured).

ahhh for funk sake. pitty cus he's class and not injury prone in fm/fifa 2010. you'd never know tho, cud be related back to the debate about his fee rising for appearances, if this is the case and he's sitting idle and keeping his mouth shut then fair play to him for taking one for the team. still at this rate we could do with an A&E at mellwood.

I think we have signed The Italian Darren Anderton methinks

Doesn't surprise me, he was always injured at Roma too!

Should be getting fed steak throughout the summer, needs deffo toughening up.

Him, Aurelio and Degen seem to be permanent walking injuries.

The glassman cometh. Feel sorry for that man. Send him straight to Australia and leave him with the doctor for the summer.

Meanwhile leave Gerrard in the centre please Rafa

When i saw the title of the thread i thought it would be another virus or nigling injury, but this one seems more serious... i hope its not too serious and at least he can be fit over summer and start next season from the off!

Anyone seen the Bruce Willis film... Unbreakable? Aquilani is definatly Mr Glass...
