Liverpool winger Albert Riera has been suspended by the club for
his outspoken attack on manager Rafael Benitez and the club.
The Spain international has been disciplined by Benitez and
told not to return to the Merseysiders' Melwood training ground
until Monday, it is understood.
Riera launched a critical broadside at Benitez, claiming he
did not speak to him, and described Liverpool as a "sinking ship".
Benitez is believed to be fuming about the timing of the
interview, which was broadcast less than 24 hours before the
crucial Europa League last-16 second leg at home to Lille, and has
taken swift action to discipline the player.
