Zenden injury blow

Last updated : 18 May 2007 By Al Campbell
Zenden was in contention to start for Liverpool in the European Cup final after impressing in the semi-final second leg against Chelsea but he is now facing a battle to be fit after taking a knock in training.

"Bolo injured his ankle in training yesterday. He's been treated by the doctor and the good news is the swelling is not that bad. We will need to see how it is after more checks today," revealed Rafael Benitez.
 
"It will be difficult to say he will be fit for the final now, but I wont say no yet.
 
"He is strong and determined and it may recover quickly. I still hope he will be okay.
 
"It will be a big disappointment for him and for us if it's not possible. Bolo can bring character, experience and tactical knowledge to the team.
 
"He is one of the good options for the left side, but now we must see how he recovers and decide what to do."
