Confusion as Liverpool target fails medical

Liverpool’s medical team assessed Marveaux yesterday at their Melwood base and the tests revealed a problem with his groin.
Marveaux suffered a serious injury to his groin playing for Rennes last season against Brest and the problem still hasn’t cleared up completely.
The winger was set to join Liverpool on a free from Rennes and sign a five-year deal worth £60,000-a-week on July 1. But his move is now on hold as Liverpool decide on their next move.
The Reds tracked Marveaux for most of last season after he was spotted by director of football Damien Comolli.
Comolli invited him to Anfield last season to watch a match and felt he could boost their options out wide as they search for wingers to supply Andy Carroll.
Marveaux’s failed medical is the latest setback for Liverpool this summer, after they lost out on Phil Jones and Ashley Young to Manchester United.
