Belletti out for 10 to 15 days
Belletti out for 10 to 15 days
The Medical Services have come up with the verdict, and the truth is, although the Brazilian will be out for about two weeks, it could have been a lot worse. However, it does mean he will miss no fewer than three games, the league clashes with Bilbao and Sevilla, plus the cup return match at Zaragoza. If all goes to plan, the full back will be back in time to take part in the all-important return leg against the Reds at Anfield Road on March 6.
Very hard luck
Belletti was injured in the final minutes of the game in an unfortunate incident. He was putting pressure on Craig Bellamy down the right, and as TV images managed to capture clearly, he landed his left foot in an awkward position and twisted his ankle.
Only one injury
After Lillian Thuram got the medical all-clear on Monday, Frank Rijkaard was able to choose from
all 22 of his players for the game against Liverpool. This injury means that Belletti will be the
only player that will not be available for selection for the weekend encounter with Athletic Club.
