Quick turnaround no excuse, insists Enrique

LIVERPOOL defender Jose Enrique insists there will be no excuses from the players as they prepare for a quick turnaround for a Carling Cup quarter-final at Chelsea.

Less than 50 hours after the final whistle of what was an exhilarating but energy-sapping 1-1 draw with Manchester City, Kenny Dalglish’s side will run out again at Stamford Bridge.

Changes to the starting line-up are inevitable, but some of the players who featured at Anfield on Sunday will be required as the Reds go in search of the second victory over Chelsea, who have had an extra day’s rest, in nine days.
