Martin Skrtel Suffers Calf Injury Setback

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has revealed that he has suffered a setback in his recovery from a calf problem.

The 26-year-old played every minute of the Merseyside club's Premier League campaign last season, but has suffered with the injury during pre-season.

Having also withdrawn from Slovakia's friendly against Austria, Skrtel hopes to be back "as soon as possible" amid speculation that he could miss the start of the season.

"I suffered an injury setback on Friday," he said, according to the Liverpool Echo.

"I felt strong pain in my leg so I am back with the doctors receiving treatment.

"I really don’t know how long it will take to heal. I am doing my best to be back as soon as possible."
