POST-DERBY INJURY UPDATE
By Paul Eaton

Liverpool could be without four first team players for their next
Premiership clash in two weeks time following a series of injuries
during this afternoon's derby.

Rafael Benitez was forced into making all three of his substitutions
during the first half and then had to keep Luis Garcia on the field
throughout the second period despite the Spaniard clearly struggling
with injury.

Stephen Warnock was first to leave the field with an ankle injury. He
underwent a scan after coming off and was relieved to discover he'd
sustained nothing more serious than heavy swelling.

Didi Hamann was next to leave the action after picking up a medial
ligament strain and Fernando Morientes followed soon after with a thigh
problem.

Manager Rafael Benitez said: "We need to see how the injuries settle
down now.

"Maybe they will all be out for two or three weeks. It's hard to say at
this stage but clearly we have a lot of problems at the moment.

"I am so proud of the players for the way they coped with the situation.
It was a very difficult game and this is such a good win for us. We
played with a high tempo in the first half and definitely deserved our
victory."

Milan Baros is also out for the next three games after being sent off
for a wild challenge on Alan Stubbs.

"We are going to be short in attack now," said the manager. "I have seen
the replays of the incident and maybe it was a red card offence.

"If we get any more problems then I'm going to have to start training
myself."
