Liverpool defender Aurelio out for season

London (dpa) - Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio will miss the rest of the season, the club confirmed Thursday.



The full-back suffered a torn groin muscle during Tuesday's 1-1 Champions League semi-final first leg draw against Chelsea.

 "I have been talking with the doctor and with this kind of injury it usually takes a minimum of three weeks for the player to recover so it will be very difficult for Fabio to play again this season," said manager Rafa Benitez.

 "It is very disappointing because Fabio has been doing a good job for the team."
