Premiership: No way back until bust-up is settled, Fowler told

Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler will stay dropped until he sorts out his differences with Anfield number two Phil Thompson.

As Gerard Houllier prepared for tomorrow’s home clash with West Ham in which he could now be without seven stars the Frenchman confirmed that he was determined not to climb down on his hard line with vice-captain Fowler, following a training ground bust-up with Thompson last week.
