Can see Arbeloa playing CB for this one if Sami needs a rest after his knock.

thanks. but apart from that is he injured?

I think he has an ankle injury. I don't think it's serious.

From a finnish news paper:

Hyypiä twisted his ankle in a collision with Jamie.

"I just bit my teeth together 'till the half-time. The ankle was taped, it was really sore and swollen. On the 2nd half I realized I couldn't sprint (shock horror ) so I asked for a substitution. I can't say how bad it is, we'll have to wait for further examinations."


Certainly sounds like he'll miss the City match.

absolute lottery who Rafa will pick over this busy period.

I would guess at

Reina
Finnan Carra Agger/Hypia/Hobbs (depending on who's fit) Arbeloa
Yossa Lucus Masher Kewell
Kuyt Torres

IMO he will save Stevie, Alonso and possible Torres for the next game.

So he'll not play Gerrard against Man City but save him for Wigan?Now that really would be madness.
