London, Mar. 13  Liverpool defender Philipp Degen may have scored on his return from injury last night, but had to limp off with a groin strain.

The Swiss international had not played since the trip to Spurs in December. He made his comeback from a damaged ankle in a 2-2 reserve team draw with Manchester United in front of 3,955 fans in Warrington.

Degen took just five minutes to tap into an empty net after a defensive mix-up. But 20 minutes later he limped off with a fresh injury, reports The Sun. (ANI)
