Injury update
Glen Johnson, Maxi Rodriguez and Andy Carroll all missed yesterday's game through injury. NEW Suarez T-Shirt -Buy Now! The three players all had knocks and Kenny Dalglish decided not to risk them against Aston Villa so the trio will be fit and raring to go for the start of pre-season training in a couple of months. Jay Spearing and Jonjo Shelvey also picked up injuries in yesterday's game and the Reds are awaiting scans on both players before they know more. "Andy's not been able to sustain any reasonable time in training and it would have been irresponsible of us to bring him," said Dalglish. "We played him last week (against Tottenham), but it was unfair on him that we did ask him to play. I didn't think we should risk the boy's fitness by bringing him. Although we've not got any games, it's important they're all back fit in July. "It's the same with Glen, who had a problem with his hamstring, so we left him up there. Maxi had a problem with his adductor, so it's better to miss this game than pre-season training. "I don't think any of them will need surgery. "There were players who played [against Villa] who probably shouldn't have. Jonjo Shelvey should not have played more than 20-25 minutes, so I think his knee will be a bit painful in the morning and young Jay's ankle will certainly be a bit painful in the morning. "But you get to this stage of the season and I am sure a lot of people would say that. "Jonjo might be the biggest problem for the summer and wee Jay. They've got scans tomorrow to see what their problems are. "Soto [Kyrgiakos] was injured as well, so maybe the end of the season has come at the right time for us - I might have been in next week!"
