03/03/2010 - Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio will miss up to three weeks with a thigh injury he picked up during Sunday's 2-1 victory over Blackburn.
The 30-year-old Brazilian's season has been blighted by injury since rupturing knee ligaments during a summer holiday.
He has started only eight Premier League games all campaign and the latest setback has come as a blow to Reds boss Rafael Benitez.
"It's not good news and we think he is going to be out for maybe another two or three weeks," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"Fabio has had really bad luck. It all began at the start of the season when he suffered the injury during the summer with his family and it's like there has been something every month since then.
"It is a shame because he is a top footballer and a really nice person but him being out leaves us with a problem because we wanted to play him, so we could give (Emiliano) Insua a rest."

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
