Football: Liverpool defender out for a month

LONDON

English Premier League club Liverpool's English defender Glen Johnson is ineligible for a month due to groin injury.

The British Daily Mail newspaper reported on Wednesday that the 30-year-old sustained the injury during a Premier League 3-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

It is expected that Johnson will be replaced by Javi Manquillo (on loan from reigning Spanish La Liga winners Atletico Madrid), Alberto Moreno purchased from Sevilla, or left-back Jose Enrique.

Playing for the Reds since 2009, Johnson's contract at the club will expire at the end of this season.

Turkish club Besiktas will take on Liverpool in the UEFA Europa League in February.
