ONE MONTH FOR DEFENDERS

Riise injury more serious

After yesterday's positive talk concerning both defenders, the overnight reaction to their injuries has not been good.

Both players are likely to be out for the best part of a month after they were confirmed to have suffered more serious damage than initially thought.

Carragher has sustained a sprained medial ligament in his left ankle while Riise has torn lateral ligaments in his left ankle.

Carra is expected to arrive back in training sooner - possibly two weeks with Riise a little later.

Agger and Aurelio are expected to fill in for the two players in Ukraine on Tuesday night.
