Liverpool's Aurelio ruled out for up to a month

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool left back Fabio Aurelio has been ruled out for up to a month with a hamstring injury.

The Brazilian defender was hurt in the first half of Liverpool's 3-1 win over Manchester United in the Premier League.

Liverpool doctor Peter Brukner says "it's a partial tear" and expects Aurelio to be out of action for three to four weeks.

Brukner says "unfortunately his body lets him down. He always plays well when he's fit."

The Reds are already without another full back, Martin Kelly, who is out for a similar period with a hamstring problem.
