Hamann returns to Liverpool squad

Midfielder Dietmar Hamann is in the Liverpool squad for Sunday’s FA Cup fourth round match at Crystal Palace – but is unlikely to start after a shin injury.

Defender Stephane Henchoz misses the match because of a one-game ban – his obvious replacement is youngster Djimi Traore, who missed the Worthington Cup semi-final success over Sheffield United with his own one-match suspension.
