Rested Keane denied a return to Spurs

LIVERPOOL boss Rafael Benitez has confirmed both Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane will definitely be rested for tonight’s Carling Cup fourth-round tie at Tottenham.

And he has intimated Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt and Xabi Alonso could also be left out.

Benitez wants to rest several senior players – some of whom have played six games in 18 days.
