Yet more injury woe for Reds

As if things could not get any worse for Liverpool, the club was on Wednesday rocked with the news that two more of their stars have been struck down by injury. Wingers Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera dealt the Merseysiders an untimely blow after being ruled out for three weeks with the hamstring knack picked up in the 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Monday. And with Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson also suffering injuries in the game, coupled with the question marks over the fitness of superstars Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, the Anfield treatment room is starting to resemble a casualty ward. "Both players are wingers as well and for them to be out at the same time is bad news for us," said under-fire manager Rafa Benitez.
