Liverpool have confirmed that manager Rafael Benitez has undergone surgery in hospital after a kidney stones problem.
The 48-year-old was taken to hospital in the early hours of Monday morning and subsequently had an operation.
"Rafa was admitted to hospital last night after suffering problems with a kidney stone," a club spokesman said.
"He will undergo a minor operation this afternoon and is expected to return to work within two or three days.
"He remains in good spirits and everyone at Liverpool wishes him a very speedy recovery."
The news comes just 24 hours after Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari spent a night in hospital with a similar problem.
With a vital Premier League clash away at Arsenal on Sunday, Liverpool will be hoping that Benitez makes a swift recovery and will be able to take his place in the dugout at the Emirates.
