Diouf set for Liverpool exit

El-Hadji Diouf’s Liverpool career looks as good as over after he was left out of the squad which leaves for a three-match tour of the United States tomorrow.

The Senegal striker has not been given a squad number for the new campaign by boss Rafael Benitez – new boy Djibril Cisse now wearing the number nine shirt Diouf wore last season – and it seems certain the £10m (€15m) misfit has no future at Anfield.
