Johnson Withdrawn With Groin Problem

Sunday, Dec. 14

Liverpool's poor start to the 2014-15 season took another potential turn for the worst on Sunday, as defender Glen Johnson had to leave the match against Manchester United due to an injury. 

Liverpool tweeted the substitution:

He's been one of the steadier options in the back for Liverpool and is one of the more experienced players on the club, so his absence will certainly be felt if his injury is a serious one.
