Digg ThisLONDON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant will be sidelined for about 10 weeks because of a fractured leg.
"We anticipate Jermaine will be out for approximately 10 weeks," spokesman Ian Cotton told the Premier League club's Web site (www.liverpoolfc.tv) on Friday.
"For the last eight weeks Jermaine has undergone intensive treatment at Melwood (training ground) between matches. But following an acute exacerbation of the problem during the game against Besiktas it has now been decided he requires surgery."
Pennant, who was substituted in the 59th minute of the 2-1 Champions League group stage defeat in Turkey on Wednesday, has a stress fracture of the right tibia.
Liverpool host leaders Arsenal on Sunday.
