Martin Skrtel has appeared to incur a groin problem in the 22nd minute, though the Slovak is set to continue after a few moments on the sideline. Those moments caused Sotirios Kyrgiakos rise from the Liverpool bench and start to warm-up. For now, the Greek international has sat back down.
Chelsea FC Vs. Lierpool FC: Clearance Leads To Martin Skrtel Injury
The injury came as Skrtel acrobatically (at least, as acrobatically as he can) clear a cross from Ashley Cole, the Chelsea left back getting behind Liverpool's defense to run onto a ball launched from the Blues' back line. Cole beat Jamie Carragher to the ball and we able to play a left-footed half-volley across the face of goal. Skrtel came back from his central defense position to clear the ball backward - toward the center circle - in to process straining something on the left side of his pelvic region.
The play continued the trend of Chelsea being the controlling if equally ineffectual side. The Blues have looked more ambitious and have dominated possession, but they have been unable to dictate any significant challenges of Pepe Reina.
Now in the 28th minute, with the telecast showing us David Beckham in the stands, the match remains 0-0.
