Roy Hodgson Confirms Week-Long Lay-Off For Paul Konchesky

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has revealed left-back Paul Konchesky is set to be sidelined for at least a week with a hamstring strain.

Konchesky, 29, left the field in the early stages of the weekend 2-2 draw with Sunderland. Subsequent tests have revealed the ex-Fulham man is likely to miss the upcoming Europa League match against FC Utrecht and Premier League meeting with Blackpool.

Speaking to the club's official website, Hodgson stated: "He's got a hamstring strain. I couldn't tell you exactly how bad it is yet.

"I don't think it's extremely bad but I certainly think it would rule him out for Thursday and next Sunday.

"Hopefully it won't be much more problematic."
