„Shakhtar“ coach Mircea Lucescu confirmed that Alex Teixeira, who has been courted by „Liverpool“ and „Chelsea“, has suffered an injury.
Reports have emerged today that representatives from „Liverpool“ have been sent for negotiations to acquire the Brazilian. Rumors have been circulating for several months that „Chelsea“ is also interested in the player.
„Teixeira suffered an injury during yesterday's training session. I decided to give the player some rest.“ - Lucescu said after a friendly match.
If the player's injury turns out to be more serious, it could definitely hinder the potential transfer to „Liverpool“ club. The Reds already have many injured players in their squad and might not be inclined to purchase another injured player.
The defender, who has been playing for "Shakhtar" since 2010, has been showing impressive form this season. In 25 matches played, Teixeira managed to score 26 goals.
