Kop legend Kenny Dalglish
believes Daniel
Agger's
return to fitness presents Rafael Benitez with a variety of
different defensive options.
The Danish centre-back has yet to
figure for the first-team this season after being sidelined with a
back problem.
However, having made his return to the fold in a reserve team
encounter with Manchester City recently, Agger played the entire
game as Denmark booked their place at next year's World Cup finals
in South Africa with a 1-0 win over Sweden on Saturday.
"While the first-team squad were in Italy recently, Daniel Agger
was making his return from injury in
the less romantic surroundings of the reserve league, but he will
be delighted, as will the manager and the punters, to get back into
action," Dalglish told LFC Weekly.
"It's a shame that he's missed so much football over the last
couple of years because he's a top class defender, and with him
nearing a return to the first-team reckoning then the manager has
got good options and permutations in the centre of his defence with
Carra, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos and Agger back to health.
"They've all got their particular strengths and they're all
internationals with a wealth of experience. Agger's a lovely silky
footballer, in the way he brings the ball out of defence and
commits teams who like to sit deep.
"Being able to call on him in the future will be important for the
team."<!-- END SYNOPSIS -->
