Boss in no mood to rush Brazilian...
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has refused to rush Fabio Aurelio's return despite the injury to Paul Konchesky.
Aurelio, 30, has been out of action since picking up an Achilles injury in last month's Europa League victory against Trabzonspor. The Brazilian was joined on the sidelines last weekend after Konchesky picked up a hamstring strain.
Speaking to reporters, Hodgson stated he wouldn't throw the player he re-signed for the club this summer back into the starting line-up.
"Where Fabio Aurelio is concerned, caution and prudence have to be the words that we use," he was quoted as saying by skysports.com.
"He is progressing all the time and his efforts are very commendable but we can't bring him back too early.
"We took him off against Trabzonspor as a precautionary measure, as we didn't want to run the risk of him sustaining a serious problem."
