Keane fit to face Spurs

Robbie Keane has been declared fit for tomorrow’s return to his former club in the Barclays Premier League clash between Liverpool and Spurs.

Keane had been struggling with a groin problem and was only used as a last-minute substitute for Steven Gerrard in Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Portsmouth.

But Keane can expect to start the match at White Hart Lane, the club he left for £20m in the summer to move to Anfield.

Liverpool seem unlikely to risk fellow striker Fernando Torres, who is still only in light training after a hamstring problem. He is more likely to return for the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

Provisional squad: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Hyypia, Aurelio, Dossena, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, Pennant, Kuyt, Keane, Riera, Lucas, Cavalieri.
