Injured quartet in Reds squad

All four of the Liverpool players sent to Belgrade this week for treatment for their injuries are in the squad to face Manchester City at Anfield tomorrow.

Glen Johnson, Fabio Aurelio, Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera have all been treated by Serbian physiotherapist Mariana Kovacevic this week and are all back in full training.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will also have Steven Gerrard in the starting line-up after a fortnight’s break to allow a groin injury to heal.

But striker Fernando Torres, on a three-week treatment programme to cure his more serious groin problem, will not be involved. Jamie Carragher returns after suspension.

Provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Aurelio, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Gerrard, Benayoun, Aquilani, Kuyt, Riera, Ngog, Voronin, Cavalieri, Kyrgiakos, Babel, Spearing, Plessis.
