Injury blow for Kelly

01 March 2011 13:30
Liverpool defender Martin Kelly has been ruled out for a month with a torn hamstring sustained at the weekend. The 20-year-old has been an ever-present on the right side of defence in the Barclays Premier League since Kenny Dalglish took over as manager in early January. However, the Academy graduate limped off in Sunday's 3-1 defeat at West Ham and will be sidelined for four weeks. The only consolation for Kelly is that March is a relatively quiet month for the Reds, but he is likely to miss Sunday's visit of Manchester United, both legs of Europa League last-16 tie against Portugal's Braga and the trip to Sunderland on March 20.
