Confirmed in Slovak paper. Martin came from Liverpool with an injury that rules him out of Wednesday´s friendly against Luxembourg.

 

So Sly sports were spot on now :

 

Skrtel injury concern:

Martin Skrtel has revealed he had to take an injection to complete Liverpool's weekend triumph at Chelsea.

 

The Reds centre-back was one of the heroes on Sunday as Kenny Dalglish's side recorded their fourth successive victory with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

 

All the hype centred around Fernando Torres, who joined Chelsea from Liverpool on transfer deadline day in a British record £50million deal, but it was Raul Meireles who grabbed the headlines with the match-winning strike.

 

Spaniard Torres was virtually anonymous before being substituted midway through the second half, with the defensive trio of Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Skrtel keeping their former team-mate at bay.

 

But the 26-year-old Skrtel admitted he required medical attention to last the 90 minutes after injuring himself in the opening period.

 

"I stretched my groin or a ligament on my left leg, I don't even know exactly what's wrong with it," the Slovakian, who has joined up with his national team for the midweek friendlies, explained to SITA.

 

"At half-time I swallowed a pain-killing pill and got an injection so that I could finish the game. I would not like to speak yet about whether it will be serious or not.

 

"The most important thing was that I could finish the game."

 

Shame when he was showing some form again last 3-4 weeks. Probably won´t play also again Wigan.

 

Maybe some rest will do him good. He is the only player in the team who played every single minute in domestic competitions this season ( bar the Northampton fiasco.)

He'll be fit for Wigan. Made up with our new outlook on International fixtures.

 

Kenny effect again.

[redsoxs]

Soto will do fine, hes the player i would of chosen for the Wigan game anyway, let hope Skrtel injury isn't more-than a couple of weeks.

Give Wilson a run in a 3 man back lin with Carra and Agger.

Yeah, Wilson is a good shout.

 

He's a quality player.

Couldn't agree more. It's actually quite funny how they seem to all be pulling out of Internationals, if there was any truth in their injuries they'd play midweek for us regardless.

I think it's a great opportunity for him to start, Wigan are a good team but they're hardly going to be keeping us in our own half defending for the game, it'd be a good time for him to get a feel for the team.

If we play with 3 centre backs again, I wouldn't mind Kelly right cb, carra in the middle, agger left cb and Johnson right wingback with aurellio left wingback.

I personally really like the Kelly-GloJo wingback setup. Gives us width we've been lacking but keeps the 'strength' of our team on the field with Gerrard, Miereles etc... and opens space for Suarez when fit and Carrol to jump into the fray within identifiable replacements (Maxi, Kuyt...).

 

Would also like to see Wilson get a look vs Wigan, and maybe see Patches or some more of Shelvey if we've put the game to bed by mid-second half...

 

Really feels good to be excited about games again...

Glo-Jo comment?

[Wor Horse]

Yes. I don't want it catching on.

 

And I didn't want to do it because I agreed with the post other than the horrendous nickname of Glo-Jo.

 

It hurt me more than it hurt him.

LOL... Sorry. Saw it a couple places and have been using it as shorthand....

That would be the way to go, I reckon.

[liverpoolsno9]

I may be wrong like, but when Roy was here i got the impression the players couldnt wait to get away, team spirit was shite and the players just weren't enjoying being here, training etc. If a player wants to join up with his country, you cant stop him but I just get the impression that team spirit is back in a big way, the players are enjoying training and football and they just dont want to leave that environment for a shitty friendly. Speaks volumes for the way the King has gone about things.

[Reacher]

Loving that some of the squad had fucked this friendly off :)

Glo-Jo comment?
