- Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez admits he must assess the risk of using Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani in Tuesday's critical Premier League clash at Aston Villa.
- He has struggled with fitness and injury all season and had to be substituted with six minutes to go on Boxing Day complaining of a hamstring problem.
- Benitez is aware that although Aquilani adds flair and creativity, he has been considered too lightweight at times for the English game during his opening months at Anfield.
