XABI FIT FOR CHELSEA RETURN!
Xabi Alonso has given boss Rafael Benitez a timely boost ahead of Wednesday night's Carling Cup quarter-final tie at Chelsea with the news he is fit and ready for action.
The Spanish midfielder has been out since suffering a metatarsal injury in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal back in October, but after missing the last 10 matches, boss Rafa Benitez revealed he is now back in time for what promises to be a busy festive schedule.
"Xabi is training normally and should be available for the game at Chelsea," said Benitez.
"We are going into a busy period with lots of games so it is important to have out best players available.
"So Xabi's return is a big boost."
The return of Alonso adds further strength to Liverpool's midfield options ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge, but they will have to continue to cope without defender Daniel Agger, who is still not ready for a return to action.
