Players facing a race against time to be fit for the Champions League final

#2 Adam Lallana

Liverpool's creative attacking force Lallana

Since his return from a long layoff and just when Adam Lallana was getting back into full fitness, the player suffered a hamstring injury that has caused a setback. With the player frustrated and anxious over his place in the Liverpool team and England team for the World Cup, Lallana is nursing himself back into training.

The English midfielder is a tricky attacking player on his day and faces a battle for fitness with only two weeks to go for the Champions League final. Due to his inconsistent playing season, Lallana would be hoping for a spot on the bench.

An impact player, irrespective of whether he starts the game or comes off the bench, Adam Lallana is a team player with bags of ability to produce the magic required to win a game.
