Murphy keeping his fingers crossed

---

Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has been speaking about his World Cup rejection.

Does he celebrate because he's on stand-by or should he be gutted because he didn't make the initial 23?

"I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed," said Murphy.

"At least I know I have still got a chance of going and that's more than a few other players have got.

"It's just a case where I have to keep my fingers crossed. I don't wish misfortune or injury on any players but I will be more than willing to take my opportunity if I get called up."
