Garcia fit for Liverpool
Spanish star Luis Garcia is back in the reckoning for a place in
Liverpools Champions League side at home to PSV Eindhoven, a match
that could decide who finishes top of Group C.
The midfielder missed last weeks international fixture with a
hamstring problem, and was still struggling with the injury ahead
of Saturdays 0-0 draw at Middlesbrough.
But he is back in training now and will challenge for a place as
boss Rafael Benitezs seems certain to stick with two wingers in an
attacking system.
Daniel Agger is expected to retain his place in the centre of
defence ahead of Sami Hyypia.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Riise,
Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Alonso, Pennant, Gonzalez, Crouch, Kuyt,
Bellamy, Fowler, Dudek, Warnock, Paletta, Zenden.
Carvalho, Bridge and Kalou stay behind as Chelsea head for
Germany

Carvalho has failed to recover from the injury and did not travel
to Germany with the rest of the squad on Tuesday.
Wayne Bridge has also stayed at home because his wife is expecting
a baby. Salomon Kalou (medial ligaments) is also absent.
Chelsea (from): Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Geremi, A Cole,
