Liverpool wait on Pongolle verdict

Liverpool hope to find out later today if Florent Sinama-Pongolle’s knee injury will rule the striker out for the rest of the season.

The Frenchman had to be carried off on a stretcher just minutes after being introduced as a substitute towards the end of Tuesday night’s 1-0 win at Watford in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg when his knee gave way as he turned sharply.
