21.11.2004 - Monaco captain ruled out of Reds clash

---

AS Monaco captain Julien Rodriguez will miss this week's Champions League fixture against Liverpool due to an ankle injury which he picked up last week.

Rodriguez was part of the Monaco team which lost 2=0 at Anfield on Matchday 1 of the competition, but missed his side's defeat to Sochaux on Friday and he will not be involved in Tuesday's game against Liverpool at the Stade Louis II.

One other notable change to the Monaco line-up which played at Anfield will be the inclusion of Javier Saviola, who is available after serving a European ban which he collected last season with Barcelona.

Saviola has played in scored in each of Monaco's three Champions League games since their defeat at Liverpool, scoring two goals, one in each of their previous two home group matches.
