Henchoz a major doubt for Worthington final

Liverpool have doubts over the fitness of key defender Stephane Henchoz ahead of Sunday's Worthington Cup final.

Liverpool have doubts over the fitness of key defender Stephane Henchoz ahead of Sunday's Worthington Cup final.

The Swiss star limped out of Thursday's UEFA Cup win over Auxerre with a thigh injury, having only just returned from an ankle problem.

Henchoz played in last week's first leg against the French side but was substituted, and then missed last Sunday's league defeat at Birmingham.

Liverpool have a virtual clean bill of health now that Vladimir Smicer is back from his own ankle problem.
