Rodgers to check on injured trio

Liverpool will today assess the condition of defenders Kolo Toure and Aly Cissokho and midfielder Joe Allen after all three players picked up injuries in last night's 4-2 extra-time Capital One Cup victory over Notts County.

The Reds finished the second-round tie at Anfield with 10 men, having been reduced to that during the first half of the additional 30 minutes when Toure was carried off on a stretcher with a groin problem.
