Jamie Carragher has been ruled out of Liverpool's crucial Champions League qualifier on Tuesday and John Arne Riise is rated extremely doubtful.

Both were forced off during the first half of the 1-1 draw at Sheffield United with ankle problems but x-rays later confirmed that neither has suffered serious damage.

Riise was stretchered off following a challenge by Blades defender Leigh Bromby , while Carragher was on the receiving end of a tackle from behind by Rob Hulse.

Speaking after the game Reds boss Rafa Benitez immediately ruled Carragher out of the third qualifying round second leg tie against Maccabi Haifa in Kiev but added 'we will have to see' with regards to Riise.

Thats a loss. But i still see them qualify.

I thoughjt Riise had busted his ankle for sure the way he was rolling around, good news for us that it wasn't

Good luck to the 'pool tonight!
