Savage Unlikely To Return At Liverpool

Last updated : 13 March 2005 By Sam
The Wales international midfielder was forced to sit out the FA Cup 6th round win against his old club Leicester City on sunday afternoon with a groin injury and in a half-time interview with the BBC he said he is still about two weeks away from a return.

That would also effectively rule him out of Wales' 2006 World Cup qualifiers against Austria at Easter for which John Toshack names his squad this week.

"I've got a groin strain so I'm not quite right," savage told BBC's Match Of The Day.

"I think it might need another couple of weeks."
