Liverpool's Borini Facing Lengthy Spell Out

Liverpool FC could be without Fabio Borini for the rest of the season after the Italian forward suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder against Swansea City AFC on Sunday.

The 21-year-old entered the fray with just 12 minutes remaining, as a replacement for Luis Suárez, but fell awkwardly and was forced off before the final whistle.

"It looks like Fabio Borini has a dislocated shoulder which will keep him out for the season," said manager Brendan Rodgers after the game.

"It is unfortunate. It is actually the other shoulder to a similar injury he had when he was at Chelsea. It is a big blow for us."

Capped once by Italy, Borini was an unused substitute in Liverpool's 2-0 UEFA Europa League round of 32 first-leg loss at FC Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday, having made two appearances in the competition this season.
