Reds stunned by Borini blow

Liverpool’s already slim offensive arsenal decreased further last night after the Italian FA confirmed striker Fabio Borini has suffered a fractured right foot.

Borini, who was training with the U21 side ahead of tonight’s European Championship qualifier clash with Sweden, went for an MRI scan yesterday which revealed the injury.

The news will be a major blow to Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, who is left with only one recognised senior striker in Luis Suarez.
