Liverpool more worried over Agger and Alonso than Pennant red card (464)

By Andy Hunter

Jermaine Pennant has pleaded innocence over the red card he invited in Porto but of far greater annoyance to Rafael Benitez is the potential loss of two integral parts of his Anfield squad. Daniel Agger and Xabi Alonso under went scans on respective
foot injuries on their return from Portugal yesterday amid concerns that they face prolonged absences from Liverpool’s domestic and European campaigns.
The Denmark defender Agger was assessed for a suspected broken metatarsal having aggravated an injury during training on the eve of the Champions League opener at Estadio do Dragao. The 22-year-old will be absent for at least six weeks if results
this morning confirm he has fallen victim to the metatarsal curse.
Agger had been expected to play in Tuesday’s game despite feeling discomfort in his right foot following Saturday’s draw at Portsmouth. However, the pain worsened through training on Monday night and he was named a substitute against Porto
instead, which fuelled the belief he had been rotated for Sami Hyypia.
The Liverpool manager had also to revise his midfield plans against Jesualdo Ferreira’s side when Alonso limped out of the same training session with a foot injury sustained at Fratton Park. Liverpool also expect to discover today whether the
Spaniard, who disembarked the flight back from Portugal wearing a protective cast on his left foot, has suffered ligament damage or a fracture.
The potential loss of Agger holds the greatest worry for Benitez, the manager having failed in his efforts to sign proven central defensive cover during the summer. Alonso’s absence would also be a major setback for Liverpool’s Premier League
aspirations, although they are well-stocked in central midfield.
Benitez’s insistence that Pennant must learn from his sending off in Portugal appears a forlorn hope after the England hopeful claimed the dismissal was unwarranted. The winger was rebuked by his manager for an unnecessary foul on the left-back
Fucile that brought a second yellow card and a one-match suspension for the next group fixture at home to Marseille. There could be further punishment from Uefa if the referee Lubos Michel mentions Pennant’s delayed departure from the pitch in his
official match report.
“I didn’t think it was the right decision to send me off,” insisted Pennant. “It wasn’t a yellow card because it wasn’t a serious foul, and I didn’t touch the Porto player anyway. He made a meal of it, so it was way too harsh. The whistling from
the crowd influences the referee and makes his decision easier, probably. The referees are harsher in Europe and I was baffled by him all night. I definitely have to learn from the fact there is a difference in how the referees approach games in
Europe.”

Think Rafa might be a bit gutted he didn't bring in that extra CB, not sure if Sami can deal with 2 games a week for a prolonged period, it'll certainly leave us short of pace in the middle. hopefully he can be back fit for the derby on 20th Oct. We're lucky because there's an international break for 2 weeks before it, lets hope he's a quick healer if it's true
