Injured Kewell ready to make his Premier October 10, 2007
12:00am
SOCCEROOS star Harry Kewell has some light at the end of the tunnel
as he targets a return from a miserable run of injuries since
playing for Australia at the Asian Cup.
Interestingly, Kewell could be in line to make his Liverpool
comeback a week on Saturday in the Merseyside derby against Everton
- the same match fellow Australian Tim Cahill has earmarked for his
return in Everton's colours.
Neither of the men has played this season since returning to their
clubs after the Asian Cup - Cahill after breaking a metatarsal in
pre-season and Kewell with a thigh injury.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is anxious to have Kewell available
again following this weekend's international break, particularly as
the Reds' form has stalled in in recent weeks.
He only returned to Liverpool's side at the end of last season
after recovering from career-threatening injuries suffered at the
World Cup, though he came on as a substitute in the Champions
League final against AC Milan.
He played more than expected at the Asian Cup, scoring Australia's
fourth against Thailand.
