Liverpool could be without both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres for this Saturday’s Premier League clash against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Both players picked up injuries whilst on international duty for the countries and did not train with the squad at Melwood today (Thursday).

With some important games against Lyon and Manchester Utd ahead, Reds boss Rafa Benitez may not want to risk playing Gerrard and Torres in this Saturday’s 3pm kick-off.

A statement released by the club today said, “Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will not train with the rest of the squad today, but will continue to receive treatment and will be assessed again tomorrow.”

uh-oh :(

oooh i thought it was the usual lie about gerrard so he could skip playing for england!

After i flipping changed my premiership fantasy team earlier today have torres in 2 teams and gerrard in 1..

I think Sunderland are on good form... But if Kuyt and Bennayoun are on form they can still win.

Omg hi people

Any one hear what Chelsea players said about how vile ashley cole is and stingy JT is.

People annoyed at how beckham got man of the match for about 38 minutes of play and crouch didnt after scoring twice.

Others have stated that we were second best in the game until Beckham came on and he was the one who made the difference.

Still should of never got it

Ahhh not long at all till football is back! f you international breaks!

I don't there is one til christmas now is there! good news

dont read to much in to it, it was the choice of one man (steve bruce)

just watched question of sport, owen coyle seems like a very smart, confident and witty man. i think he is going to go on to have a great carear as a manager.
i tip burnley to stay up this season.

I agree'd with the desicion.

Birmingham today for us..

The team that screwed (accidentily) eduardo from great from, 16 months later hes still not fully fit wont be playing today i dont think.

Hopefuly we can get a win.

St Johnstone V Rangers on now on ESPN.

we should of had a fcking penalty ffs ARGH!!!1!1

fck you anti-caps

bring back capitals

St Johnstone 1 - 1 Rangers. Half time.

Gers playing ****.

Dunne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow im kinda happy draw would be best result.

Better villa than chelsea i guess.
Took dunne out my team )=

Who scored the other 2?

Ohh collins. for Villa who for chelsea?

Chelsea are shooting it straight at Firedel, not challenging him, had 2 perfect oppurtunities where they could havegone either side more chance of a goal.

Carew could have put villa up 3 - 1 then.

Wonder if city regret selling Dunne..

Been an amazing player so far.

Chelsea getting beat :dance:

Could manage to get ourselves back in the title race if we win today:

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Carragher, Babel, Lucas, Aurelio, Spearing, Benayoun, Kuyt.

Subs: Cavalieri, Voronin, Riera, Mascherano, Insua, Ngog, Kelly.

Surprised Spearing has been picked instead of Macherano, but he played good against Real last year and is our best reserve/youth player so hopefully he'll have another good game today.

Sunderland: Gordon, Bardsley, Turner, Ferdinand, McCartney, Malbranque, Cana, Cattermole, Reid, Bent, Jones. Subs: Fulop, Nosworthy, Zenden, Campbell, Henderson, Da Silva, Healy.

Ahahahahahahaahah get in there villaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa
