So impressed has manager Rafa Bentiez been with Marijana Kovacevic’s work on injured players that he wants to strike a deal with her to prioritise work on Reds players. According to reports the Spaniard wants the Belgrade housewife to establish a permanent base at Anfield so the players don’t have to travel far to see her.
