Finnan missing for Marseille

The Republic of Ireland star has been sidelined since the first leg draw with Jose Agnio's men at Anfield and he will be absent once more as Gerard Houllier seeks to guide Liverpool to a fourth consecutive Eueopean quarter-final.

"It is more serious than first thought. Steve has a problem with his shoulder and we are hoping he might be alright for the Blackburn game on April 4th. That's the target anyway," revealed Gerard Houllier.
