LIVERPOOL
striker Mario Balotelli’s hamstring problem, sustained on international
duty with Italy, will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s trip to Crystal
Palace.
With fellow forward Daniel Sturridge
ruled out until 2015 with a new thigh injury, manager Brendan Rodgers
has suggested summer signing Rickie Lambert will have a greater part to
play.
Midfielder Jordan Henderson is expected
to be involved after being rested by England against Scotland in midweek
as a precaution.
Crystal Palace will be bolstered by the
return of captain Mile Jedinak for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League home
match against Liverpool.
The Australia international missed his
team’s 1-0 defeat at Manchester United last time out through suspension.
Jedinak’s availability is a boost for Palace’s midfield line with
Scotland international James McArthur doubtful with a calf problem.
McArthur, who was injured during the
match at Old Trafford prior to the international break, took part in a
light training session on Thursday and could feature. Kevin Doyle has
recovered from a groin injury that saw him pull out of the Republic of
Ireland’s international friendly against the United States and the
striker will be on the bench on Sunday.
