LIVERPOOL v Blackburn: Martin Skrtel misses out after injury dampens Europa League win
Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel will miss Sunday's Barclays Premier League visit of Blackburn after breaking a metatarsal in his right foot in the Europa League victory over Unirea Urziceni in Bucharest. [LNB]His absence causes problems for manager Rafa Benitez as fellow centre-back Sotirios Kyrgiakos serves the final game of a three-match suspension. [LNB] Unlucky break: Skrtel had to leave the field on a stretcher in Romania[LNB]Jamie Carragher is likely to revert to his usual role in the centre, meaning Philipp Degen or youngster Martin Kelly could come in at right-back as, although Glen Johnson is close to full fitness after a knee problem, he is not in contention yet. [LNB]Midfielder Maxi Rodriguez returns to the squad having been ineligible for the trip to Romania. [LNB]Provisional squad: Reina, Degen, Agger, Carragher, Insua, Gerrard, Lucas, Aquilani, Benayoun, Riera, Rodriguez, Ngog, Kuyt, Torres, Cavalieri, Pacheco, Spearing, Darby, Babel, Aurelio, Kelly.
