Not in the squad yesterday, despite being fully fit and having a full pre season with not being in the world cup.
However with Cole getting sent off he might get a chance now in his favoured position behind the lone striker.
It might be his last chance, so if selected against City or the next few games, while Cole is out - he has got to take it if he wants to stay at LFC and get regular games.
Otherwise he might struggle to get regular games and I fear for his future here.
