Liverpool host London side, Tottenham Hotspur, on Monday and the Reds manager, Kenny Dalglish will have a full squad to choose from.
The Merseyside club have been on a fine run after knocking out Manchester City and bitter rivals, Manchester United from the Carling Cup and League Cup respectively, and put in a fine performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Barclays Premier League
on the weekend as well.
However, that particular match saw Liverpool play without their influential captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196. However, Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that the talismanic midfielder is set to return to the squad for the side’s match against fellow Champions League spot
contenders, Tottenham Hotspur.
Dalglish stated, “Steven (Gerrard) will be back in the squad for Monday, so we’re looking quite healthy at the moment – but there are three days of training to go, so more often than not you can pick up something in that.”
It seemed obvious from that statement that the Liverpool manager did not want to jinx the skipper’s return to the squad. He was at the same time pleased to have a large number of players available for the crucial clash, that of course excludes Brazilian
midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Leiva, who is still in rehab following his surgery.
Dalglish continued, “But at the moment we look as though we’re okay and have players to choose from. That gives us a problem, but it’s a pleasant one.”
It turns out that Gerrard is not the only player set to return to the squad as striker Luis Suarez is set to feature as well after having served out his eight match ban, the last of which saw him in the stands as Liverpool ran home comfortable winners against
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952.
“Luis is smashing.” Dalglish began, “We’ll have a look and see how he is in training before we pick a team for Monday night.”
Suarez may find his return delayed if Dalglish continues with Andy Carroll up front as the former Newcastle United player has found some form in front of goal.
All in all, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 will not have any excuses come Monday night in a match which will play a big part in determining where the Reds finish come the end of the season.
