Injury Update: Konchesky Out For Next 2 Games

Liverpool manager Roy
Hodgson has confirmed that
Paul Konchesky will miss the
next two games with a
hamstring injury.
The former Fulham player was
one of Hodgson ’s first signings
and he will now miss the Europe
League trip to Utrecht on
Thursday and the visit of newly-
promoted Blackpool to Anfield on
Sunday.
The 29-year-old sustained the
injury mid-way through the first
half of Liverpool ’s 2-2 draw with
Sunderland and now faces a spell
on the sidelines.
"He's got a hamstring strain,"
Hodgson said on Sunday.
"I couldn't tell you exactly how
bad it is yet. I don't think it's
extremely bad but I certainly
think it would rule him out for
Thursday and next Sunday. ”
When asked if he envisaged it
being a longer-term issue
Hodgson said: "Hopefully it won't
be much more problematic."
