Liverpool FC have confirmed that defender Fabio Aurelio will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his achilles tendon on Tuesday evening in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final at PSV Eindhoven.

Four months out
Aurelio was carried off with 15 minutes remaining of his team's 3-0 win at the PSV Stadium and left the ground on crutches. The Brazilian left-back, 27, underwent a scan on Wednesday after returning to Merseyside which revealed he faces up to four months on the sidelines. "A scan has confirmed a complete rupture of the achilles tendon in Fabio's right leg," said a Liverpool spokesman. "The player will undergo surgery later today and is expected to be out for approximately three to four months."
