Lucas Leiva missed out on Liverpool’s 2-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat at Wembley against Aston Villa yesterday with a thigh injury sustained in training.

The 28-year-old midfielder has never played at Wembley after missing Liverpool’s three appearances there during the 2011-12 season, also through injury, and had expressed in the run up to this game how much he was looking forward to his first appearance at England’s national arena.

Having sustained his injury earlier in the week, Lucas did travel to London with his team-mates, but hours before kick-off he was deemed unfit to play and was replaced in the starting line-up by Steven Gerrard.
