How is Riise and Carra?

[Guest RedLegend]

News could be worse.

 

Looked like JAR would be out for months.

[Guest spk]

in the post-match interview when asked whether carra and riise would now be out of the kiev game he says "for sure". it's 01:10 into the interview ...

Would be surprised if Riise's ankle isn't severely hurt, it looks broken the way it was caught under.

 

He'd be out for more than a month, it seems.

 

Carra didn't look too serious

[M4TTA]

from another site (wont post it) it reports both sprained ankles, both will miss the cl game but should be good soon. Nothing major, Riise had a scan at the ground due to their excellent facilities which showed no break.

 

supposedly but sounds plausable...

carra's didn't look that serious, but then he previously tried to play on with a broken leg. shocking challenge from rob hulse as well, couldn't believe he wasn't booked.

 

how long is a sprained ankle out for? a month realistically?

[Elisha_Scott]

Carra - 10 days

 

Riise - 2-3 weeks

[lfc4eva99]

[CarraLegend]

Good news, hopefully that gets Carra out of Int.Duty and ready for the game against the s****

 

Hopefully Riise is back by then aswell

I think that's a very positive prognosis

 

Any news on Finnan?

Cheers mate. I think we'll be fine on Tuesday. Then we can really start the league.

[M4TTA]

not bad then

 

thanks for the news

The way Riise was struggling and grimancing after he hurt his ankle, 2-3 weeks would be a great result

REDS DUO SIDELINED

 

Steve Hunter 20 August 2006

 

Liverpool have suffered a double injury blow with the news that Jamie Carragher and John Arne Riise will both be missing for the next fortnight after scans on Sunday morning confirmed the club's initial medical diagnosis.

 

Both players were forced to leave the field injured during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sheffield United.

 

The scans showed that Carragher has sustained a sprained medial ligament in his left ankle while Riise has torn lateral ligaments in his left ankle.

 

A Liverpool spokesman said: "We expect both players to be unable to train for the next two to three weeks."
