Johnson tears ligament

Liverpool defender Glen Johnson suffered medial ligament damage in his knee during Tuesday's match at Aston Villa, the Premier League club revealed on Wednesday.
Scans showed that the England right-back, who moved to Anfield from Portsmouth for 18 million pounds (20.1 million euros) in pre-season, tore a ligament in his right knee late in the 1-0 win and will be sidelined for several weeks.
A club spokesman said: "A scan has revealed a tear in the medial ligament in Glen's right knee. The player will see a specialist tomorrow (Thursday), after which we should be able to more accurately determine the length of his rehabilitation period."
