Skrtel out with injury

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel should be back in action in around two weeks following his jaw injury.

It was first feared that Skrtel broke his jaw in the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday, but tests showed that it was cracked.

Skrtel’s agent, Karol Csonto, told SITA: “It [the jaw] is not broken, just heavily cracked.

“According to the doctors, Martin should be back in action within two weeks and he should be wearing a special mask.

“I hope that they will find or create a new one for him.”
