Liverpool have been hit with a double injury blow which will see
both Stephane Henchoz and Emile Heskey out of action.
Defender Henchoz faces a lay-off of four to six weeks after being
told he requires minor calf surgery.
The Switzerland international has endured a stop-start season due
to injuries but played a starring role in the club's Worthington
Cup final victory over Manchester United last Sunday.
Liverpool's defensive frailties this season have been attributed to
the absence of Henchoz, who forms an imposing central defensive
partnership with Sami Hyypia.
Striker Heskey, who was forced off during the second half at the
Millennium Stadium, is likely to be out for a fortnight with a
hamstring strain.
