Duo miss Europa game

Daniel Agger and Javier Mascherano will both miss tonight's Europa League game with Trabzonspor. The pair both picked up injuries in the draw with Arsenal on Sunday and will not be in the squad for this evening's game. "Javier will always be in my plans until the day comes when he leaves the club. And for me that will be a long time in the future if I can get my wish. But he's injured at the moment and won't play tomorrow," said Roy Hodgson. "He came off after about 80 minutes on Sunday with a slight pull in his calf muscles and has only just started to jog today. "The worry for us is that he won't be fit for Monday. "Daniel got concussed so he's not doing that well. We're three days after the incident and he's still suffering from concussion and has got no memory of the game. "We can only hope that it settles down in time for Monday's match with Manchester City. There was never any question he'd be fit for tomorrow. "He is resting. He was at the club this morning, I was talking to him, but he's not able to do much at the moment because he's suffering from headaches. Even something as simple as reading a newspaper or watching TV can give him a headache so he needs to take it easy. I know how he feels doing all these press conferences!"
