Alberto Aquilani has been ruled out of Liverpool's Europa League quarter-final first-leg clash with Benfica on Thursday night. The Italian midfielder sustained an ankle injury in training on Wednesday morning and will not fly out with the squad to Lisbon.
"He will not be available for this game," said Reds boss Rafael Benitez.
"He had a problem with his ankle and we have to fix it.
"It doesn't seem too serious but it's the same ankle as before and so we'll have to analyse the situation carefully."
