Johnson an injury doubt

Glen Johnson is unlikely to face Blackburn. Johnson is struggling to shake off the thigh injury that kept him out of the last two games and is likely to miss tomorrow's game as well. It means Jamie Carragher will deputise at right-back despite another impressive performance from Martin Kelly in Napoli. "Glen is trying to be fit but it's not looking good for Sunday at this moment in time," said Roy Hodgson. "I haven't ruled him out yet but I was hoping that when we returned from Napoli he would have been able to train on Friday. Unfortunately that's not the case so we will have to see. "If Glen doesn't play then Jamie will play at right-back. Carragher will play anywhere you ask him and he is just a marvellous Liverpool player and club servant. He and Steven Gerrard are what Liverpool is all about. "Jamie is a centre back and that is where I think he should be playing. I don't like having to move him to full-back but it would be wrong to put young Kelly into the team and leave someone like Kyrgiakos or Skrtel out. We need the experience."
