Liverpool Winger Albert Riera Could Be Sold In The Summer


Albert Riera's continued omission from Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez's match-day squads has prompted regional press to link the Spanish winger with a summer exit.

Riera has struggled with a hamstring problem this season, and was absent from the first-team for a six-week period.

During January, Benitez recruited Maxi Rodriguez, and with Dutch forward Ryan Babel's improvement in form, chances for Riera to edge his way back into contention appear limited.

The Liverpool Daily Post believes time is not on Riera's side, and speculates that, in order to free up funds for a period of overhaul when the season concludes, Benitez now regards Riera as a saleable commodity.

Spain international Riera has also been omitted from the national line-up, and was not included in his country's squad for Wednesday night’s friendly with France.
