Thanks for the info Goondu!!!
Milan Baros is facing a race against
time to be fit for Saturday's clash with Birmingham after picking
up a minor hamstring injury.
Baros, the Reds' leading scorer this season with seven goals, is
given a "50-50" chance of facing Steve Bruce's men as Liverpool
look to make it five wins out of five in the league at Anfield this
season.
"Baros has a slight muscle problem," said manager Rafael Benitez
today. "At the moment I would say he has a 50-50 chance of playing,
but we will see tomorrow."
The loss of Baros would come as a huge pre-match blow for the Reds,
especially given the fact that record signing Djibril Cisse is
already ruled out with a broken leg.
But Benitez prefers to remain positive and insists he has enough
quality in the squad to cover every eventuality.
He said: "If Baros is out then we'll have to look at other players.
But we have options. If we didn't have other players for that
position then I would be crying.
"We've got Kewell, Pongolle, Garcia and Mellor who can all play as
a striker. It's all about the players who are available. We have
good players here and if we have to use them it's not a
problem."
Xabi Alonso is fit again and expected to start against Birmingham
after recovering from the calf strain which relegated him to the
subs bench in La Coruna in midweek.
Riise or Alonso for midfield?
I wonder who will play upfront tml...
