Kewell to miss Liverpool tour

HARRY KEWELL has been ruled out of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the Far East after the results of a scan yesterday revealed ligament damage to his left ankle.

The Australian striker, a £5 million buy from Leeds, suffered the blow in a friendly against Crewe on Saturday. However, Liverpool are hopeful he will be back in action at the Amsterdam tournament which starts on August 1.

Salif Diao is also out of the Far East tour after an X-ray revealed ligament damage. The Senegalese midfielder could also be back in action in Amsterdam.
