      Skrtel and Johnson injury update
      Feb 26, 2010 02:29:43 pm
      Skrtel and Johnson latest

      Martin Skrtel has broken a metatarsal in his right foot, Rafa Benitez today confirmed.

      The good news of Glen Johnson returning to first-team training this morning was tarnished after x-rays confirmed the worst on an injury Skrtel sustained in the 3-1 victory over Unirea.

      Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We were really disappointed after the game because it was a good result but then we had the bad news about Martin. He's had x-rays today and they confirmed he has a broken metatarsal.

      "We have to check over the next couple of days how long it will take to recover."

      On Johnson, who hasn't featured since sustaining a knee injury in the 1-0 victory at Villa Park in December, Benitez added: "He's doing well. He was training today with the team - a light training session.

      "I was watching him and he was quite sharp. But Sunday will be too soon."

      Just when he was starting to build up a bit of a decent run.

      It looked a bad injury as soon as he connected.

      Looking on the bright side his bones might refuse into such a position that he can pass properly.

      Good news on Johnson getting back.  Not seen enough of him this season to fully judge him.

      Gutting about Skrtel - it's not been a great season for injuries so far.

      Is it possible that we see all of our team fit this season?? It seams thou if one gets fit and goes back to training there is another one to replace him in the sidelines.:( Unbelievable!!

      a pity on martin - he's been playing really well of late after a shaky start to the season.
      In a perverse way Rafa may be happy as an uncomfortable decision was brewing with regard who to drop upon Johnsons return

      Once again the injury crisis haunts us. Just as Skrtel was breaking into a good stride of games too :-\ But at least Johnson is back so Carra can sit back at centre half. :)

      Another kick in the balls :-\

      But with Johnson coming back and Kyri's ban almost over we should still have enough defenders.

      Get well soon big Martin

      Haha that and some No Nails glue!

      Feel sorry for the Skrtel but I think judging by the way the season started off for him against Spurs, it's probably best if he puts this season behind him and get himself fully fit.

      Please though, no more injuries to any defenders.

      Gutted for him, that's completely different to the original broken toe diagnosis.  :-\   :f_wah:

      Get well soon Martin...maybe you should just look down at your foot with an angry look and the  metatarsal will fuse back together out of sheer fright.  ;D

      Skrtel has been in good form so he must be gutted as much as the fans are. Lets hope for a speedy recovery

      Good to hear Johnson is on the way back but withSkirtle out for a while and Sotis still suspended for another match. That's another re shuffle at the back, just when we were getting settled again.

      Dissapointed and can not believe our shitty luck this season.

      Having broken my metatarsal bone twice its bloody painful and frustrating its not something that inhibits you from being completely mobile, but it does not allow you to kick the ball or apply a lot of pressure on the foot. Feel really sorry for him as he seemed to be finally finding top form again.

      It's a b***ard of a situation if there is a bright side his time out is now 8 weeks and surgery is not required.
      At the outset there was talk of a 3 month lay off and surgery if it was a bad one.
