Finnan faces fitness fight

Last updated : 24 November 2003 By Chris Maxwell
The 27-year-old former Fulham right-back was substituted just two minutes in the second-half of the frustrating 0-0 draw at the Riverside and is unlikely to participate in this Thursday's second-leg UEFA Cup clash with Steaua Bucharest at Anfield.

Gerard Houllier said: "Unfortunately Steve had a tight calf. That's why I took him off as it wasn't worth the risk of a tear. He could be out for some time but we'll have to see how it settles down."

Who should replace Finnan if he misses Thursday's game?
