Liverpool star suffers injury set-back

Czech star Patrik Berger has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Leeds United with a groin injury and will not travel with the rest of the squad.

"Everybody else is okay," confirmed acting boss Phil Thompson. "The lads who missed out in midweek, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and John Arne Riise are all back in contention for the game."

Berger is expected to be out of action for several weeks.
