Steve Finnan |

STEVE FINNAN faces a season in the wilderness after a fall-out with Rafa Benitez.
The defender clashed with his boss and was left behind as Liverpool flew out to Oslo.
Benitez had hoped to sell Finnan, 32, to Aston Villa but the right-back was unhappy at being touted around without his knowledge.
He rowed with Benitez and was promptly left out of the midweek trip to Norway.
Liverpool are not blessed with full-backs with Philipp Degen injured, Alvaro Arbeloa is not convincing and rookie Stephen Darby untried.
But Benitez still wants Finnan sold before the end of August even though the Irish international is in no rush to leave and wants to try and force his way back into the side.
