Alberto Aquilani could miss Liverpool's decisive Europa League match with Lille after picking up a stomach bug.

Ahead of his side's must-win encounter with Les Douges the Italian playmaker has been sent home from the club's Melwood training ground to recover from the virus.

The Ligue 1 outfit hold the advantage going into the return leg of the last 16 tie thanks to Eden Hazard's late goal in the opening match.

Aquilani, 25, completed 90 minutes and scored his first goal for Liverpool in their 4-1 triumph over Portsmouth on Monday.

Rafael Benitez said: "He has a virus and is struggling with his fitness.

"We have to take care of him and decide tomorrow. It will be a late decision."
