Jamie Carragher Set To Be Fit To Face Hull City With Liverpool


Liverpool veteran Jamie Carragher should have recovered from an ankle problem in time to face Hull City in the Reds' final game of the Premier League season at the weekend, according to a report from The Liverpool Echo.

The defender turned his ankle in the weekend home defeat by Chelsea and completed the squad's lap of the pitch to say thank you to the fans at the end of the game in a pair of flip-flops to ease the pressure on the injury.

However, the injury is not believed to be serious and Carragher should line up for the Reds at the KC Stadium.

Should Carragher play in East Yorkshire then it will be his 630th appearance for the club, putting him seventh in the list of Liverpool's all-time appearance makers.

The player himself is happy that he has once again managed 50 games over the course of the campaign.

"My target at the start of every season is to play in 50 games so I'm glad that I have achieved that again," he said.

"You have to have a bit of luck with injuries to make sure that happens and I have been fortunate throughout my career not to suffer with little niggles.

"At a top club like Liverpool, there are always players who want to take your place, so to play 50 games (a season) here is something that I am proud of."
