Dalglish is hoping to have these crucial players back by the end of the season, he continued, “Glen Johnson has a hamstring problem which is usually about three or four weeks and it's the same for Martin Kelly. We will know about Steven at the end of the
week. He will be assessed and we'll see what the story is.”

point in the season, he said, “It's disappointing for the players because they want to play in every game. We're getting towards the end of the season but if you're injured you're injured.”
