Liverpool Football Club’s Fabio Aurelio faces three weeks on the sidelines.

The Brazilian fullback suffered a thigh problem during the 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers on Sunday, and Rafael Benitez has confirmed he will be unavailable for the next few games.

"It's not good news and we think he is going to be out for maybe another two or three weeks - Fabio has had really bad luck," said the Spaniard.

"It all began at the start of the season, when he suffered the injury during the summer with his family, and it's like there has been something every month since then.”

The Reds have already lost Martin Skrtel with a metatarsal injury, whilst they continue to progress Daniel Agger who has suffered severe bruising to his knee.
