Rafa benitez is confident David Ngog will be available to face Manchester City this weekend – despite breaking his nose on international duty.
The young striker sustained the injury during a training session with France’s Under-21 squad last week and has returned to Melwood for treatment.
Ngog’s last appearance for Liverpool, of course, was shrouded in controversy after he ‘won’ the penalty that enabled his side to secure a 2-2 draw with Birmingham City.
That incident, though, overshadowed what had been an encouraging display – he scored the Reds’ opener – and with Fernando Torres set to be sidelined, Ngog will be needed.
“Ngog has broken his nose, so we will have to see how he is before the weekend,” Benitez said today. “But we think he is going to be okay. It is not too serious.”
