Liverpool to wait on injury news for midfielder Allen

Liverpool will wait on the result of scans to determine the extent of an injury suffered by midfielder Joe Allen during Sunday's friendly match against Swindon Town.


Liverpool won the fixture 2-1, with new signing Christian Benteke scoring an incredible volley on debut.

However, it was not all positive news for the Reds, with Allen leaving the pitch after just 20 minutes of action.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers indicated Allen had suffered a minor hamstring injury.

"It looks like he has tweaked his hamstring but we'll wait for the scan," Rodgers said post game.
