Villarreal's Gerard Moreno sustains hamstring injury in win away at Getafe just over a week before the Yellow Submarine's Champions League semi-final first leg against Liverpool

Liverpool have been handed a major boost in their bid to reach a third Champions League final under Jurgen Klopp as Villarreal's star man Gerard Moreno was forced off with a hamstring injury.

Villarreal, who beat Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, travel to Liverpool in a little over a week's time and will be sweating over the fitness of their forward.

Moreno gave his side the lead in the opening ten minutes at Getafe before Manu Trigueros doubled their lead and looked to ensure an extremely positive week for Unai Emery's team.
