He's injured.

can we recall Jordan Ibe?

What's the point? No reason to stunt his development, just so he can sit on the bench for 3 weeks until Markovic gets back.

We have Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana and at a push Enrique who can all cover wide. Could even promote Ojo or Wilson for a few weeks to deputise.

Apart from the fact that Ibe is injured, and Bender will realise this by Wednesday , Ibe is developing well at Derby. According to the ones that write on the Derby forums anyway.

He is not premiership ready yet and he won't be if we don't let him continue with a run of games at championship level.

Poor Blender, it really is a shame for him.

Markovic quashes latest Liverpool injury scare

Lazar Markovic has given Liverpool a fitness boost by declaring himself ready to play for Serbia against Albania in Tuesday's Euro 2016 qualifier.

Markovic, 20, was substituted after 25 minutes of his country's 1-1 draw in Armenia on Saturday with a suspected muscle tear. Reports in Serbia suggested initially that the midfielder would be unavailable for up to three weeks.

But Markovic took to Facebook late on Monday to reassure fans of both his club and his country that he is fit. He wrote: "I'm ready for match tomorrow! Injury is not as bad as it seemed at first sight."

Liverpool have lost several players to injury while on international duty this season.

Daniel Sturridge is only just regaining full fitness after suffering a thigh problem during an England training session on September 5.

Four days later, Joe Allen picked up a knee injury while playing for Wales in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Andorra, although he - like Sturridge - is expected to be available to make a comeback when Liverpool visit Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League on Sunday.

Fellow midfielder Emre Can is recovering from ankle ligament damage sustained while playing for Germany under-21s in a European Championship qualifier against Romania on September 9.

And the club is waiting to find out the extent of Dejan Lovren's abdominal injury, suffered while training with Croatia on Thursday. The injury forced the centre-back to pull out of his country's latest Euro 2016 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Azerbaijan.

too much of a lightweight, not beefy enough.

he might have been good at dodging the chairs, skinheads, coins and other flak though.

[danperkins]

He was on the bench though, not his fault.
