Alberto Aquilani Hands Reds Europa League Fitness Scare


Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani missed training at Melwood today after suffering from a stomach upset.

The Italian turned in arguably his finest performance in a Red shirt to date when scoring his first goal for the club in Monday's 4-1 Premier League win over Portsmouth but was unable to take part in this morning's preparations ahead of the Europa League Round of 16 second leg against Lille.

The club are hopeful that Aquilani will be available for Thursday night's clash at Anfield, where the Reds must overcome a one-goal deficit to progress to the last eight of the competition.
