Riise: My hopeless right foot is ‘close to dead’
The Norwegian is in line to replace the injured Fabio Aurelio for this week’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea after his last-minute own goal gave the Blues a huge advantage going into the tie.
Riise was criticised for his decision to head Salomon Kalou’s low cross rather than attempt a clearance with his right foot. His header flew into Pepe Reina’s top corner to gift Chelsea a vital away goal.
