    INJURIES HIT FINNISH MIDFIELD FOR ARMENIA GAME

    HELSINKI, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Finland will be without experienced
    midfielders Jari Litmanen and Aki Riihilahti on Nov. 15 when they
    meet Armenia for a home game in European Championship qualifying.

    Long-time national team captain Litmanen, 35, has a thigh injury
    and will also have ankle surgery. He is expected to be out until
    mid-December. Kaiserslautern's Riihilahti re-injured his calf muscle
    last weekend.

    Tottenham's Teemu Tainio might also miss the group A game in Helsinki,
    a Finnish Football Association spokesman said.

    Coach Roy Hodgson will announce his squad on Thursday.

    After four games, Finland lie second behind Serbia in the group with
    eight points. Armenia have one point from three games.
