Liverpool duo John Arne Riise and Jamie Carragher both twisted their ankles during today's game against Sheffield United.

It was feared that Riise had broken his ankle but thanks to the facilities at Bramall Lane, the player's ankle has been X-Rayed and there's no break.
The same with Carragher. He managed to limp off during the game unlike Riise who was stretchered off in agony, but a quick examination has determined that he also has a twisted ankle.
What a relief.

Update:
Liverpool have suffered a double injury blow with the news that Jamie Carragher and John Arne Riise will both be missing for the next fortnight after scans on Sunday morning confirmed the club's initial medical diagnosis.

Both players were forced to leave the field injured during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sheffield United.
The scans showed that Carragher has sustained a sprained medial ligament in his left ankle while Riise has torn lateral ligaments in his left ankle.
A Liverpool spokesman said: "We expect both players to be unable to train for the next two to three weeks." -

Whew!
John Arne Riise has been ruled out of Liverpool's next two matches against PSV Eindhoven and Chelsea after suffering a reoccurrence of his ankle injury.
I thought almost a season-ending injury.
The Norwegian international was carried off the field during the 3-0 Merseyside derby defeat by Everton, and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez confirmed it was the same injury that he got on the opening day of the season at Sheffield United.
Riise had only just returned from torn lateral ligaments in his left ankle and he now faces another spell on the sidelines.
"It's not serious but John will be out for the next 10 to 15 days," confirmed Benitez.
