Benitez will not leave Le Tallec face Reds

RAFAEL Benitez has refused permission for Anthony Le Tallec to play for Sunderland against Liverpool this month - in case the forward damages the Champions League qualification hopes of his parent club.

Le Tallec, on loan at the Stadium of Light, looks set to lead Sunderland's attack after his first-team chances at Anfield were limited.

But he will not be allowed play against Liverpool away on August 20.
