Rafa Benitez today revealed how Glen Johnson will be out of action for at least a month.

The right-back sustained a tear in the medial ligament of his right knee during our 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Johnson will see another specialist before a timescale is put on his recovery.

But Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Johnson has a problem, so he'll see a specialist and then we'll talk but we know he'll be out for at least one month. But we are waiting for another opinion and then we'll know how long."

Meanwhile, Benitez is hopeful of having Albert Riera back within a week following a knock sustained versus Blackburn - though Martin Kelly and Nabil El Zhar may yet be out for another fortnight.

"Kelly and Nabil still need maybe one or two weeks," said Benitez. "Riera will start training tomorrow, so hopefully in the next week he can be available."
