Liverpool
manager Rafael Benitez is to undergo minor surgery after
being taken to hospital suffering from kidney stones. The
problem is not serious and the Spaniard is expected to be back at
work before the end of the week.
The news comes just days after his Chelsea counterpart Luiz
Felipe Scolari revealed he had been suffering from the same
complaint.
A Liverpool spokesman said: 'Rafa was admitted to hospital last
night after suffering problems with a kidney stone.
'He will undergo a minor operation this afternoon and is
expected to return to work within two or three days. 'He
remains in good spirits and everyone at Liverpool wishes him a very
speedy recovery.'
