Charlton Athletic have told skysports.com that Scott Carson will not be
rejoining Liverpool as emergency cover for Jerzy Dudek.
The Polish shot stopper picked up a three-match ban after receiving a red card
in a reserve clash against Everton, and, with both Carson and Chris Kirkland out
on loan at Premiership clubs, Dudek's only possible replacement as backup for
Jose Reina is currently 20-year-old novice David Martin.
The promising custodian was recruited from MK Dons last season but has yet to
figure in Benitez's first team plans, and the Spaniard has indicated that he
will look into recalling Carson as he also contemplates an appeal against
Dudek's dismissal for a confrontation with Toffees striker Victor Anichebe.
"We will have to check on the agreement we have with Charlton before deciding if
we can bring Scott back in this situation," explained Benitez to the Liverpool
Echo.
"I've been watching the video again and it's clear we have to do something. The
tackle on Jerzy was terrible.
"We will be seeing if we can appeal this decision because when you see the
tackle on Jerzy, it's clear what happened.
"The tackle was so bad, and yet the player only received a yellow card. It's
crazy."
However The Reds are set to be frustrated in their attempts to bring Carson back
to the Anfield fold as Charlton have confirmed that, under the terms of the
England Under-21 international's season-long loan, he can only be recalled by
Liverpool in the January transfer window at the earliest.
"As we understand, under the terms of the loan, he can be recalled in the
January transfer window but not before," a club spokeswoman told skysports.com.
As a result of Dudek's dismissal Liverpool will currently be short for the
upcoming Premiership games with Manchester United and Aston Villa, as well as
the Carling Cup game against Reading in which the Polish international would, in
all likelihood, have started in a rare appearance.
i don't think he has been perfect, i can think of two or three goals so far i think he could of done better with, but forgetting that he has been a lot more safe hands than i was expecting.
Probably our most successful loan we have had so far.
