[EL] FC Augsburg (A): Build Up

[Fosterbloke]

Going out of the FA Cup might be a blessing for the Europa.

No game at the weekend. So 10 days to think about Augsburg. Then the League Cup final.

Its the best shot of getting into the Champions League, so we need to take it seriously and with a fit and firing Sturridge. We have a good a chance as any.

I think we should go all out to score 2 or 3 at theirs, then field the 'FA Cup team' (Tex, Brannagan etc)

Klopp confirms Stewart injury, but Lucas to return for Augsburg

Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Kevin Stewart is facing a spell on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury in training at Melwood.

The midfielder, who made his Barclays Premier League debut for Liverpool as a substitute at Aston Villa on Sunday, picked up the knock attempting to block a shot and was subsequently sent for a scan to assess the damage.

“We lost Kevin Stewart in training,” Klopp said. “He blocked a shot and his ankle was not stable.

“It was a bit bruised so we have sent him for a scan. We think it’s the ligament.

“He trained outstandingly and then this happened. That’s not too good.”

Elsewhere, Klopp revealed Lucas Leiva will return to Liverpool’s squad for the Europa League trip to Augsburg following a minor hamstring issue, but Adam Lallana will not travel to Germany with a calf problem.

“Lucas is back fit but not Adam - he has no chance for Thursday's game,” said the boss.

Have to put up with Lallana playing **** all season then he finally starts scoring and contributing and.....injured. Kev the wonderkid new Mascherano and Hamann combined comes through, bosses it....injured. I'm amazed Firmino hasn't gone down yet and **** knows what Clyne is made of!!

send benteke over there and keep sturridge bubble wrapped.

maybe a 15 minute stroll in the return leg to untwist his ligaments before the city game.

Too risky. Cotton wool i say, if one of the bubbles were to pop it could cause a fracture or at the very least some heavy bruising.
