London, Nov. 24 : Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun has revealed he used human placenta to heal his injuries.

Benayoun is one of several stars to visit Serbian healer Marijana Kovacevic.

Until now it was being said that they were treated with horse placenta, but Benayoun disclosed another story.

London - Liverpool's season was thrust deeper into crisis on Thursday as it was confirmed that Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera have both suffered torn hamstrings.

The two attacking midfielders both suffered injuries during Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Birmingham City on Monday, a game that extended the club's miserable run to just one win in nine games.

Both players are expected to be out for around a month, which will see them miss the crucial Champions League games against Debrecen and Lyon, plus the key league games against Manchester City and Everton.

London - Liverpool midfielder Yoss Benayoun signed a two- year extension to his contract on Monday, tying him to the club until the summer of 2013.

The Israeli scored nine goals last season and was an integral part in the side's second-placed finish behind champions Manchester United.

"I am very happy that we have reached an agreement," Benayoun said. "Of course, to be at a club like this is a dream come true and I want to keep playing here.

London  - Israeli substitute Yossi Benayoun scored a dramatic injury time winner for Liverpool that lifted his side to the top of the Premier League on Saturday with a 1-0 victory at Fulham.

Benayoun's strike from close range took Liverpool to 67 points - two more than Manchester United, who have two games in hand though and could move back to the top on Sunday with a victory against Aston Villa.
