Liverpool boss Hodgson admits Jovanovic cooked

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson says Milan Jovanovic is out of their Europa League clash at Trabzonspor due to fatigue.

The Serbian winger did not travel to Turkey for Thursday's Europa League clash with Trabzonspor after figuring in all five of the Reds' fixtures so far this season.

However, Hodgson confirmed Jovanovic could return to face the Baggies.

The manager explained: "He's very, very tired after Monday's game. It's all a bit new for him. He's played every game and played more minutes than any other of our players.

"Like Fernando, it would have been a bit risky to push him into the game tomorrow night."
