Aurelio injury 'seems serious'

Rafa Benitez has confirmed that the injury sustained by Fabio Aurelio in Eindhoven could well be serious.

Liverpool's Brazilian wideman will undergo a scan on Wednesday after being stretchered off during the second leg of The Reds' 3-0 win over PSV in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.

Initial reports suggested that Aurelio had suffered a ruptured Achilles, an injury that would likely threaten his participation for the rest of the season.

Whilst Benitez could not confirm the extent of the blow, the Spanish tactician admitted that he fears the worst over his summer signing from Valencia.

"We need to wait, it seems serious," Benitez told Sky Sports News.

"He has an Achilles tendon injury and we can see tomorrow (Wednesday) when we do a scan. It seems serious."

Liverpool's Aurelio set for next season after surgery
Thursday, April 05, 2007, 22:02:47 HRS

Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio will be fit for the start of next season after a successful Achilles tendon operation.

It had been feared that Aurelio would be sidelined well into the 2007-08 campaign after he ruptured a tendon during Tuesday's Champions League win at PSV Eindhoven.

But Liverpool Rafa Benitez revealed that the Brazilian left-back's surgery on Wednesday had gone well enough for him to be ready for pre-season.

"He will be fit for the pre-season," Benitez told Liverpool's website. "Yesterday he had an operation and it was really good. It was over quickly, the doctor carried out a new kind of operation.

"He was playing really well, so it was a pity to see him get injured again."
