Yanev to miss Liverpool trip

Friday, August 12, 2005

PFC CSKA Sofia will be without midfielder Hristo Yanev for the return against Liverpool FC because of a thigh injury.

Muscle tear
The 26-year-old tore a muscle in his right leg during the 3-1 first-leg defeat by the defending champions in Sofia on Wednesday night. He was substituted at the end of the first half and will not be fit for the trip to England on 23 August. Yanev will also miss Bulgaria's friendly against Turkey next Wednesday.
