Liverpool have been handed a boost with the news that midfielder Vladimir Smicer has been ruled out of our next two games.
The Czech, who broke his toe while on international duty, will definitely miss the games against Bolton and Birmingham and he could be out for longer.
This of course is a tongue firmly in cheek report so don't start, of course we are absolutely gutted that Vlad has been ruled out of action but we know there are pro and anti Smicer camps so we thought we'd try and stir it a little.
