Reds injury blow

Both Riera and Benayoun picked up injuries during last night's 2-2 draw with Birmingham. Rafael Benitez fears both players have torn hamstrings.

"Riera had the same problem as before. The players are sometimes available but not 100 per cent ready. We thought he was okay but in the end you can see he wasn't," said the boss.
 
"Yossi has the same problem as Riera. Some players are playing too many games in a row. They are working very hard and so you always have this risk. I think both will have tears.
 
"Agger also had a problem with his back. It's not serious but he felt it a little bit."
