ALONSO EASES INJURY CONCERNS
Mark Platt 08 May 2006
Xabi Alonso today eased fears that he could miss Saturday's FA Cup Final by revealing he's optimistic about his chances of lining up against West Ham in the Millennium Stadium.
Alonso was stretchered off during the first half of Liverpool's 3-1 win at Portsmouth yesterday after falling awkwardly and left Fratton Park sporting a protective ankle cast.
The prospect of him playing in his first FA Cup Final were immediately shrouded in doubt and a scan this morning showed he has suffered an ankle ligament sprain.
But the Spanish midfielder has reassured worried Liverpool fans that he's confident of recovering in time for the final.
"When it happened I was very worried but now I feel more optimistic. I'm feeling very positive about my chances of being fit for Saturday," says Alonso.
The obvious disappointment of missing out on runners-up spot in the Premiership and the injury he sustained aside, Alonso admits it's been a good second season at Anfield and is confident it can get even better.
"We can be happy because we've improved a lot and we're a much more solid team. But we don't want to stop now, we want to keep progressing," he adds.
"Whatever happens next week it's been a good season, but it could still have been even better. We wanted to win the World Club Champion-ship and go further in the Champions League. But we still have the FA Cup final to look forward to, and obviously we're all determined to win it."
