Rafael Benitez has hinted that the fit-again Bolo Zenden could
be deployed in a central midfield position at times this coming
season.
Zenden had his first season with the Reds cruelly curtailed after
suffering a knee ligament injury in the Champions League clash with
Real Betis at Anfield back in November.
He's now successfully completed his rehabilitation and Benitez is
delighted to have him back at his disposal as he prepares for
Saturday's opening pre-season friendly at Wrexham.
"He is training again now and I was really happy with him at the
end of last season," says the Liverpool boss about his Dutch
winger.
"He was injured, but he was always in the dressing room and he was
always encouraging his team-mates and supporting them.
"This year he has started pre-season training really well. I am
thinking about using him sometimes as a central midfielder because
he has experience at Middlesbrough in this position.
"He also has quality, and with his experience and his game
intelligence he can give us more things.
"I think he was happier in this position, and with us losing
Hamann, we will have Momo Sissoko, Stevie Gerrard and Xabi Alonso
for that position - and maybe Bolo, too."
