Roma Could Be Without Key Man for Champions League Tie With Liverpool Following Derby Injury

Liverpool have received some fantastic news ahead of their Champions League semi-final tie against Roma.

The Reds face their Serie A opponents on April 24, and Roma could well be without star centre back Kostas Manolas, who was forced off in the Rome derby at the weekend.

Manolas played a crucial role for his side in their quarter-final triumph over Barcelona. Scoring the winning goal that sent his side through and keeping the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez quiet during the second leg ensured Roma surprised the masses and knocked the Blaugrana out.

Rivalry doesn’t get much fiercer than this.
