Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has decided to undergo surgery on
his broken nose.
Crouch will miss the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League
quarter-final and England's two Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel
and Andorra.
"The thing is I know that because of the injury, my breathing isn't
as it should be at the moment," Crouch said. "If it's affecting my
performances then I know I'm going to have to get it over and done
with.
"The doctor has said that after getting it done, I'll be out for
three to four weeks. That would be really frustrating because at
this stage of the season I really don't want to miss any
games."
But he'll definitely miss the two England games later this month
against Israel in Tel Aviv and Andorra in Barcelona. He's also
ruled out of Liverpool's next two Premiership fixtures against
Aston Villa and Arsenal and the first leg of the Champions League
quarter-finals.
