Javier Mascherano's Future At Liverpool Is Uncertain, Says Roy Hodgson

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has appealed to midfielder Javier Mascherano to get in touch to discuss his Anfield future.

Hodgson cast further uncertainty over the Argentina captain's Anfield career when he conceded that he had been unable to contact him since he took charge more than a fortnight ago.

Mascherano, 26, has been linked with a move to European champions Inter Milan this summer and his agent has described the potential of such a move as a ''dream''.

''I have tried to contact Javier. I have left him voice messages and sent him texts but had no reply," Hodgson said.

''To be fair to him, that's not unusual because he's had a tough World Cup and I believe he's gone back to Argentina.

''It's not always easy to get in touch with people. I have tried to reach him to make clear I am happy to talk with him at his convenience.''

Mascherano is contracted to Liverpool until 2012 and any deal could cost a club such as Inter as much as £30 million.
