Baros returns to Liverpool squad

Milan Baros returns to Liverpool’s line-up for the Champions League quarter-final first leg with Juventus.

The Czech striker is currently serving a three-match domestic ban but is able to play in Europe.

Midfielder Dietmar Hamann is likely to miss both matches with a knee injury and Fernando Morientes and Mauricio Pellegrino are cup-tied, so Sami Hyypia will return to the defence.

Benitez will also make a late decision on whether to bring back Jerzy Dudek, who missed the 1-0 win over Bolton with a hamstring strain, or stick with his understudy Scott Carson.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Dudek, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore, Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Biscan, Riise, Nunez, Smicer, Baros, Carson, Welsh, Potter, Le Tallec, Warnock, Raven.
