Martin Skrtel has been ruled out for the next six weeks due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in the 3-0 loss against Watford. Apart from the heavy thrashing received at the hands of the newly promoted team, Liverpool will also have to deal with the absence of the defender.

Skrtel has been one of the ever present players in the Liverpool team over the last five years. The Slovakian defender has been rocksolid at the back while also scoring goals in the 2014-15 season. Liverpool have confirmed through a scan that the player has suffered a tear to his tendon and hamstring.

Liverpool failed to open their Europa league group stage account with a victory after they could only manage a 1-1 draw against Bordeaux, but manager Brendan Rodgers was a pleased man since he had opted for a young starting line-up against the French team.

Liverpool’s starting line-up had an average age of just 21.7 years. They managed to take the lead through Adam Lallana before being taken aback by an equaliser from Jussie. Europa league is not seen as an important competition up until now, but winners of this trophy now get direct qualification to the Champions League.

Jamie Carragher has claimed that he questioned the quality of Sergio Romero when he was announced as the new number one for Manchester United.

Rafa Benitez became a surprise replacement for Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, but one of his former players – Jamie Carragher – thinks that the Spaniard will be a success at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher says that Arsenal should consider strengthening the club immensely in the summer if they are to maintain this good run of form.

After managing to win the FA Cup last season, the club seem to be undergoing a sense of rejuvenation. For large periods of this league campaign, Arsenal were unable to come near the top four. However, a spectacular run of form since February has seen them move into second spot and possibly challenge for the title. There will be coming up against Chelsea in a mammoth clash at the Emirates stadium this weekend.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher fully expects Real Madrid to come in with an offer for Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, who has been in stunning form this season.

The Spaniard has been the only consistent player for United this season. He has received a glowing praise from various quarters, but concerns about his United future have also grown during this period. He is out of contract in less than 18 months and negotiations over a new deal appeared to have stalled for the time being.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has urged his team to not taken the opinions of former players like Jamie Carragher, who were extremely hard in the recent criticism of Liverpool.

Daniel Sturridge has suffered yet another setback in his attempts to recover from a thigh injury that has troubled him since September.

Liverpool have made substantial signings during the summer transfer window to increase the squad strength, but their former defender Jamie Carragher is of the opinion that the team may not be strong enough. Carragher was part of the Liverpool team that failed to win a league title for more than a decade, but he did win several trophies with the club including the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup. The former England international says that he is extremely happy with the way Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has strengthened the team by spending close to £ 100 million.

Although Belgium suffered defeat against Argentina in the Round of 8 the other day to get out of the FIFA World Cup, but, the skipper of the side, Vincent Kompany, is fairly happy with how their campaign in Brazil went.

According to Kompany, his team is only going to get stronger from here and in future, would pose bigger challenges to the top teams.
