Bellamy included in Reds Euro squad

Craig Bellamy travelled with Liverpool's squad today for their Champions League quarter-final against PSV Eindhoven despite still feeling the effects of a rib injury.

The Welsh international had been left out of the squad that beat Arsenal at the weekend, having picked up ankle and rib injuries while away playing for Wales last week.

Bellamy was considered fit enough to fly to Holland with the squad but said: "I got a really hefty knock from the San Marino 'keeper last week in Cardiff.

"It still hurts now when I breathe, but I really hope I will be fit to play against PSV. This European run is so important to me. I really want to be involved in what is the best level I have played at during my career."

Liverpool will monitor Bellamy over the next 24 hours before deciding whether he will figure against PSV in the Phillips Stadion tomorrow.

Manager Rafael Benitez has no other injury problems with skipper Steven Gerrard, taken off against Arsenal due to tiredness, also in the party.

Steve Finnan and Sami Hyypia, rested on Saturday, were also in the squad. Mohamed Sissoko is suspended for the first leg.

Provisional squad: Reina, Finnan, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Riise, Aurelio, Pennant, Gerrard, Alonso, Gonzalez, Mascherano, Kuyt, Crouch, Fowler, Bellamy, Dudek, Zenden.
