Boss explains Jova absence

26th Aug 2010 - Latest News

Roy Hodgson expects Milan Jovanovic to be back in contention for Liverpool's Barclays Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

The Serbian winger did not travel to Turkey for Thursday's Europa League clash with Trabzonspor after figuring in all five of the Reds' fixtures so far this season.

However, Hodgson confirmed Jovanovic could return to face the Baggies.

The manager explained: "He's very, very tired after Monday's game. It's all a bit new for him. He's played every game and played more minutes than any other of our players.

"Like Fernando, it would have been a bit risky to push him into the game tomorrow night."

Like your thinking Roy, we need to rest players especially in this hectic time. I believe our youngsters are more then capable of holding on/winning tomorrow night. YNWA.
