Liverpool To Decide On Gulacsi Inclusion

The Anfield backroom staff will make the ultimate decision on whether on-loan keeper Peter Gulacsi plays for Hereford against Hartlepool tomorrow.

It is a crucial match for both League One sides who are striving to avoid relegation from the 3rd tier of English football.

Gulacsi has been in inspired form since arriving at Edgar Street, with the Hungarian U-20 international receiving many plaudits.

However, Gulacsi picked up a knee injury whilst training with the Edgar Street club this week and is a major doubt.

Bulls boss Graham Turner remains hopeful Gulacsi will get the all clear from Anfield, but its touch-and-go.

Speaking to the Hereford Times, Gulacsi admits he's desperate to play at Victoria Park, but ultimately it will be his paymasters at Liverpool who will decide.

'I started to feel pain in the back of my knee on Wednesday morning.

'I want to play on Saturday but the decision will be with Liverpool.

'I have been playing a lot of games and, of course, it's a new experience for my body.

'I think it's just a reaction to playing a lot of games in a short space of time.'

With Craig Samson sidelined after surgery on an injured groin, the Bulls have no back-up goalkeeper other than Jose Manuel Veiga.

The Portugeuse born stopper could therefore make his debut for United tomorrow.

If Veiga is drafted in he will hope he stays on the pitch!

In his last semi-professional match Veiga was red-carded for Tamworth against Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium in April 2007.

Tamworth lost 1-0 in the Conference fixture with Robbie Simpson scoring from the penalty spot for the U's immediately after Veiga's dismissal.
