Rafa Benitez says Liverpool should be able to welcome back Fabio
Aurelio to the first-team squad for the home clash with
Burnley.
The Brazilian has missed the start of the new season after
suffering a knee problem during the summer, but the left-back is
expected to be back in contention for a start for the visit of the
Clarets.
The international break has come at a good time for Aurelio and
Benitez is delighted at the prospect of his squad being
strengthened with players returning from injury.
The Reds boss revealed: “Fabio is back training and playing
football.
“After the end of the international break I don’t think he will
have any problems and he will be able to be involved in normal
training sessions and be in the squad.”
Meanwhile, Benitez says Daniel Agger is walking again after his
back operation and that Nabil El Zhar’s knee injury is also
improving so that is ‘very positive’.
