SPANISH ACE JOINS REDS INJURED LIST

Xabi Alonso has joined Liverpool's growing injury list and is set for
two months out with a broken ankle.

He misses the trip to Norwich on Monday and it is increasingly unlikely
that striker Milan Baros will be risked at Carrow Road as he battles to
overcome his hamstring problems.

Manager Rafael Benitez is also without Chris Kirkland, Josemi, Vladimir
Smicer, Djibril Cisse and Harry Kewell long term which leaves him with
very few alternatives. Neil Mellor and Antonio Nunez could both come
into the starting line-up.

Norwich manager Nigel Worthington will wait on a late fitness test on
Thomas Helveg, who has been suffering from concussion, before naming his
side.

Marc Edworthy, sent off after just four minutes in the Canaries' last
outing at Portsmouth, is now suspended.

Damien Francis is expected to continue in the side after making a
goalscoring return at Fratton Park after more than a month on the
sidelines with a fractured cheekbone.
