Meireles injury latest

4th Jan 2011 - Latest News

Raul Meireles will miss Wednesday's trip to Blackburn Rovers due to an ankle injury.

The Portugal midfielder was forced from the pitch midway through the first half of our 2-1 win over Bolton on New Year's Day.

Scans revealed bruising to his ankle which will mean he plays no part at Ewood Park - though the 27-year-old could be back for Sunday's FA Cup tie with Manchester United.

"He's got bone bruising on his ankle," assistant manager Sammy Lee told Liverpoolfc.tv. "This isn't as bad as we first thought.

"Unfortunately he's not available for Blackburn but he's a tough cookie and hopefully he will be back for Sunday."

Meanwhile, Jay Spearing is back in training after fracturing a bone above his ankle at Melwood in November.
