REDS GET BETIS BOOST

Real Betis striker Dani will miss Wednesday's Champions League Group H duel with Liverpool after injuring his ankle during Betis' defeat to Sevilla on Saturday night. After limping off the field in the Liga matchup tests showed that Dani will have to miss up to a month thanks to the injury.

Dani felt he had come under extra scrutiny from the Sevilla defenders in Saturday's 1-0 away loss at Sánchez Pizjuán.

"From the first minute the defenders of Sevilla have been chasing me clearly," said Dani.

"I think that was the order of coach Juande Ramos and the derby finished with many problems."

Betis coach Serra Ferrer is looking past the defeat and concentrating on taking down the European champions at Anfield.

"This game is history now and I am already thinking about winning on Wednesday against Liverpool in the Champions League," said Ferrer.
