Liverpool suffer Baro? blow
Thursday, 18 November 2004
Liverpool FC have confirmed that Milan Baro? will be out for up to a month
after pulling his hamstring in the Czech Republic's defeat of F.Y.R.
Macedonia on Wednesday.

Rehabilitation begins
The 23-year-old lasted just 17 minutes of the 2-0 FIFA World Cup qualifying
victory and will now miss the conclusion of Liverpool's UEFA Champions League
Group A campaign. A statement on the club's official website said: "Milan
underwent a scan this afternoon. Unfortunately that has shown a pull in the
hamstring of his left leg and he is likely to be out for between three and
four weeks. Milan will begin his rehabilitation on Friday."  

Hat-trick
In addition to missing a number of Premiership matches as eighth-placed
Liverpool look to close in on the English leaders, Baro? will sit out
Tuesday's Champions League fixture at AS Monaco FC and the visit of
Olympiacos CFP on 8 December. The striker has scored ten goals this season,
including a hat-trick against Crystal Palace FC last weekend, and was
carrying the goalscoring burden with Djibril Cissé ruled out for the season.
