Liverpool's Adam Lallana to miss Merseyside derby with thigh injury
- April 01, 2017
Lallana, 28, suffered the problem on England duty during the 2-0 win over Lithuania at Wembley on Sunday. This will likely keep Lallana out of action for four weeks or more.

Foley questioned whether using public money was wise. The Golden Knights will play at the 20,000-seater T-Mobile Arena, which opened in April previous year and was privately funded through a 50-50 venture ... (more...)
