Skrtel can only wait and see

LIVERPOOL defender Martin Skrtel will discover today how long he is expected to be out injured after a scan revealed posterior cruciate ligament damage in his right knee.

The 23-year-old Slovakia international was given oxygen and left the field on a stretcher after falling awkwardly in Liverpool’s 3-2 win against Manchester City at Eastlands.

Skrtel has forged a solid partnership with Jamie Carragher at the heart of a Liverpool defence which has conceded only four goals in seven Premier League matches this season.
