After being plagued with injuries for the most part of his career in England Alberto Aquilani will now miss Liverpool's Europa League quarter-final against Benfica with an another injury.
The Italian midfielder will not fly to Portugal with the rest of the squad for Thursday's game due to an ankle problem, although manager Rafa Benitez does not believe the 25-year-old has a long-term injury.
"He will not be available for this game," Benitez told the press on Wednesday.
"He had a problem with his ankle this morning and we have to fix it.
"It doesn't seem too serious but it's the same ankle as before and so we'll have to analyse the situation carefully."
Aquilani has endured an injury-ravaged time at Anfield since joining the club from Roma in the summer, making just eight starts in all competitions for the Reds.
