City clubs hampered by knee injury woes

Both Liverpool and Everton are facing the prospect of lengthy spells without key players due to knee injuries. 

Red's fear defender Martin Skrtel could be ruled out for the remainder of the year after picking up an injury towards the end of their 3-2 win at Manchester City on Sunday.

The Slovakian damaged the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee when he fell awkwardly following an important tackle on Ched Evans. 

Meanwhile, blue's midfielder Leon Osman remains no closer to rectifying a long standing knee problem, as Everton have opted to delay surgery.

It was thought the 27-year-old would go under the knife during the international break, but club medics have decided not to operate, instead hoping a period of rehabilitation can solve the problem.
