He isn't newly injured, it's his time table from ankle surgery in May. Rafa said Lucas will play the Xabi role til Aquilani is healthy. Poulsen would be a terrible buy because all three of our center backs (Agger, Skrtel, Carragher)are injured and may not be back for the Yids on opening day.
Look for us to purchase either Mikey Turner, Sylvi Distin, or (heaven forbid) Sol Campbell in the next week.
No, but I'm sure it will have a fine mix of youth and reservists. Maybe Mashcerano as well (he's two weeks behind on fitness).
Ayala played against Atletico yesterday. The starting spots for opening day are between him and hometown lad Martin Kelly to be matched with Carra. Unless of course we sign someone or Carra's ankle is worse than has been mentioned.

It has already been played. "Liverpool" won 1-0. Dunmanway are a completely amateur non-league team from Cork. I'd never heard of them until this match was announced. Weird choice by Liverpool.
Are Ayala and Kelly any good? I don't suppose Ayala is related to Roberto Ayala?
Liverpool XI squad (all played): Martin Hansen, Emmanuel Mendy, Steven Irwin (Captain), Victor Palsson, Chris Mavinga, Andras Simon, Vincent Weijl, Krisztian Nemeth, Daniel Pacheco, Gerardo Bruna, Nathan Eccleston, Dean Bouzanis, Alex Kacaniklic, Jordy Brouwer.
