Red Star Belgrade Suffer Injury Blow Ahead of Champions League Trip to Liverpool

Red Star Belgrade have suffered yet another major blow after Marko Marin joined an ever-growing injury list ahead of their Champions League tie against Liverpool.

The former Chelsea man joined the Serbian outfit from Olympiacos this summer, and has failed to recover from the injury which forced him to sit out their 3-1 victory over Rad Beograd on Saturday and therefore hasn't travelled to Merseyside.

Red Star manager Vladan Milojevic is also without on-loan Bordeaux midfielder Jonathan Cafu and left-back Milan Rodic for Wednesday night's Group C contest at Anfield.

Although Cafu would've been unlikely to start, the absence of both Marin and Rodic creates an even bigger selection headache for Milojevic, who also has concerns over centre-back Vujadin Savic.
