Josemi ban forces reshuffle

Liverpool will be without Spanish defender Josemi for Saturday’s Premiership game with Charlton.

Josemi is suspended following his dismissal at Fulham last week and could be replaced at full-back by Steve Finnan.

Manager Rafael Benitez also has the option of moving Jamie Carragher into that position with Djimi Traore slotting in alongside Sami Hyypia and John Arne Riise moving to left-back.

Provisional squad: Kirkland, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore, Garcia, Hamann, Alonso, Riise, Kewell, Baros, Cisse, Pongolle, Dudek, Diao, Warnock, Biscan, Welsh.
