Injury-plagued Alberto Aquilani could miss the remainder of Liverpool's season after he sustained another ankle injury at training.

The former AS Roma midfielder has struggled to make an impact at Anfield in his first season because of injury and an innocuous training incident may force him to sit out the remaining matches for the Reds.

Scans revealed that the problem is worse than first thought but the club is waiting for the club doctor to return from Portugal following the clash with Benfica to make a final decision.
