Daniel Agger To Miss Liverpool's Clash With Real Madrid


Daniel Agger has been omitted from the Liverpool squad for Wednesday's Champions League fixture against Real Madrid, the club's official website revealed last night.

While Steven Gerrard came through a late fitness test with no dramas, Agger will remain on Merseyside as he continues to recover from a back injury.

Philipp Degen, the Swiss full-back, will also stay mired on the sidelines.

"Gerrard will travel, Degen is still out and Agger has a problem - everyone else is fit," said manager Rafael Benitez.

Thus, either Sami Hyypia or Martin Skrtel should partner Jamie Carragher in central defence.
