Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has suffered another injury blow after it was confirmed defender Martin Skrtel has broken his foot. The Slovakian centre-back was injured in Thursday's 3-1 victory over Romanians Unirea Urziceni, which helped the Reds reach the last 16 of the Europa League.
"We were really disappointed after the game because it was a good result but then we had the bad news about Martin," said the Spanish tactician.
"He's has had X-rays and they confirmed he has a broken metatarsal.
"We have to check over the next couple of days how long it will take to recover."
