Lucas not bothered by Liverpool points threat

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva isn't fazed by the prospect of a nine-point deduction.

The Anfield club could be hit with the sanction if parent company Kop Holdings goes into administration next week over an estimated debt of £230million owed to Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).

Lucas told Sky Sports News: "We just have to wait and see what is going to happen. We can't think about what has not happened."

Ahead of next Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton, Lucas believes that the current international break arrived with perfect timing for Liverpool in the wake of their defeat by Blackpool.

"I think this break came at the right moment," he said.

"Everybody can rest a little bit with their countries and, of course, when we come back we have to make sure we are ready for the derby."
