在欧洲冠军联赛八分之一比赛客场同葡萄牙本菲卡队的第一回合较量中,利物浦队损失惨重,不仅0:1告负,中场球员西索科也因眼部严重受伤而不得不留在了里斯本接受进一步治疗。
据路透社2月21日报道,利物浦队中场球员、来自马里的西索科在比赛上半场同本菲卡队球员贝托争抢高球时受伤。据报道,在争抢中,贝托一脚踢在了西索科的脸上,后者随即被担架抬下场。利物浦队主教练贝尼特斯随后派哈曼出场顶替受伤的西索科。贝托因严重犯规被裁判出示黄牌警告。
利物浦俱乐部一名发言人在该俱乐部网站发表声明说:"由于眼睛严重受伤,西索科将不得不留在医院接受进一步观察和治疗。在这名球员返回英格兰之前,俱乐部将派队医和工作人员在里斯本全程陪护。"
本场比赛葡萄牙本菲卡队直到比赛离结束前6分钟才依靠巴西球员路易松的头球在光明球场取得胜利。双方第2回合的较量将在3月8日在利物浦主场安菲尔德球场举行。

Liverpool's Momo Sissoko has had to stay in Lisbon after hospital treatment for an eye injury suffered in Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League loss to Benfica.
Sissoko took a kick in the face following a high challenge by midfielder Beto on the half-hour and went off on a stretcher. Beto was booked and Sissoko was replaced by Dietmar Hamann.
After hospital tests the Mali midfielder was told he would not be flying home to Merseyside with the rest of the squad on Tuesday night and would have to remain Lisbon.
"It is a serious eye injury which means Momo will be staying in hospital overnight for observation and further tests," a Liverpool spokesman said on the club's website.
"The club doctor and one of the physios is staying in Portugal with the player until he is able to return to England."
Liverpool lost the match after Brazilian Luisao headed the only goal six minutes from time at the Stadium of Light. The second leg of the round of 16 game is on March 8 at Anfield.
