Baros hoping to be fit

Baros suffered a gashed knee in Saturday's defeat at Crystal Palace and was withdrawn in the first half. He is now hoping the injury will clear up before the Reds visit Stamford Bridge.

"My knee is sutured and puffed," says Baros. "The meniscus and ligaments are okay, but the bone hurts a lot. I will see on Tuesday. Sutures are no problem, but if it hurts the same way as on Saturday, I will not be able to play."
