Bad to worse for Reds

Things are going from bad to worse for Liverpool after the club were rocked by the news that Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun will all spend time on the sidelines. The key trio, all injured in the Reds embarrassing FA Cup defeat to Reading on Wednesday, will spend varying degrees of time out. Star striker Fernando Torres is the most serious, requiring surgery to his knee, which will keep him out until the end of February. Gerrard will miss two weeks of action with a strained hamstring, while Benayoun has fractured a rib and will not play again for around four weeks.
