Liverpool striker Peter Crouch says he will decide on his future at the end of the season.

The club have offered the 27-year old a new contract, but he believes he needs to be playing regularly.

"I've got to be realistic, if I want to have any aspirations of playing for England, or furthering my career, then I have to be playing."

Crouch bagged Liverpool's goal in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and despite not being able to win a regular starting place, maintains he is happy at the club.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand did not break his foot in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough.

The England defender left The Riverside with his foot in a protective plastic case as a precaution.

With Vidic sidelined and crucial Premier League games against Arsenal, Blackburn and Chelsea following Wednesday's Champions League return match against Roma, Ferguson can ill afford to be without his other first-choice central defender.

But Ferguson took heart from the display of Gerard Pique, who replaced Ferdinand on 69 minutes.

"The danger was to keep him (Ferdinand) on when he was limping and not at his full level," said Ferguson.

"Pique came on and did absolutely terrific, he was absolutely marvellous and I think that helped us actually.

Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson would love owner Thaksin Shinawatra to buy Brazil and Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho.

The 28-year-old is said to be unhappy at Barca and could leave in the summer.

His brother and representative Roberto De Assis were entertained by Manchester City directors on Saturday and they hope to tempt the forward to the club.

"It was the first time I had heard such a thing, so I really hope it is true," said Eriksson.


Chelsea will be without Petr Cech for a fortnight after the keeper had surgery to his lips and chin following a collision with a team-mate in training.

Cech has missed the last nine games with an ankle injury and will now miss Tuesday's Champions League quarter final second leg against Fenerbahce. "He has been unlucky with injuries this year," said Chelsea boss Avram Grant.

"But this is football - it happens." he added.
