Liverpool vs Unirea Urziceni: Fernando Torres Still Sidelined
With Torres still out of action thanks to a knee injury that needed immediate surgery, the Merseysiders look on forwards to the Europa Cup as their last hope to salvage their less than stellar season.
Liverpool will face the Romanian team Unirea Urziceni on February 18th at 20:05 hours (GMT). Liverpool entered the Europa League after failing to come out top-two in their Champions League group.
Italy’s Fiorentina finished top, with French club Olympique Lyon in second. Liverpool only managed to collect seven points, but the seven points were more than enough to finish above bottom-placed Debreceni, who unfortunately for them lost all six of their matches.
This will be the first time either club has faced each other in European competition, although looking at statistics, when faced against a Romanian team Liverpool has won six games, drawn twice, and lost one game.
Realistically this is Liverpool’s last shot to win some sort of accolade and keep their sinking season above water. The Reds will be aiming to take the lead with them when they travel to Romania for the return leg on February 25.

@Isaac – Gosh Isaac I hope so. I really really hope so.
@Angela – Thanks! Haha, I kind of forgot about Liverpool/Europa league too! Ever since Torres has been MIA and Liverpool hasn’t been really playing as well as usual, I haven’t really been concentrating on Liverpool much. Well since Torres is out not doing much, I guess I’ll concentrate more on Liverpoolian things.

I think Liverpool’s not going to get anything less than a draw against Unirea
