Liverpool could be without Josemi for up to six weeks due to a knee injury.
The Spanish full-back has been experiencing a problem with his knee recently and has been advised by the club doctor to see the surgeon.

If an operation is required Rafael Benitez expects Josemi to be sidelined for about a month and a half.

There is better news regarding Chris Kirkland, who has missed the last two games with a back injury.

The young keeper is back in training and should be in contention for a return to the first team squad within the next seven days.

Very unfortunate for Josemi, he was very solid from the begining of the season but has been in poor form in the past few months. I wish him a speedy recovery but this gives Finnan a chance to prove to Rafa that he deserves to play in every game.

maybe if he's been carrying a knee injury it could go some way towards explaining the slump in his form? dunno, just thinking out loud here...

Well at least in this case we can thank our lucky stars that it's not one of our so called "major players" or a player who was in exceptional form.

That's been the story of our season: losing players when they are in form. It happened with Gerrard, who was our top scorer at the time. Cisse had just started to make waves (and sonic booms) on the right side of the attack when his leg snapped. Luis Garcia's hamstring went twang after settling very quickly, and Milan Baros had not-long since completed his first Liverpool hat-trick when his hamstring popped on international duty. Even Igor Biscan was looking like the complete midfielder when he fell into the crowd at Spurs, and hasn't been seen since.

Igor was just bit stunned and should be making his way out of stadium any day now

Shame for Josemi but its give Finnan his chance to cement a place who is another player who seems to benefitting big time from a having a new manager
