Reds must wait to learn Adam fate

Liverpool face a further two-week wait to determine the extent of Charlie Adam’s injury setback.

The Scotland international suffered a knee problem during last week’s defeat to QPR amid speculation that he could be sidelined for the remainder of this season.

And Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that the Reds will have to endure an additional fortnight of uncertainty until a clear prognosis can be delivered but, ahead of Sunday’s trip to Newcastle, has expressed his encouragement at the recovery of Lucas Leiva from his own knee trouble.
