Fabio Aurelio eyes comeback after break - Liverpool FC latest

RAFAEL BENITEZ is relishing the prospet of having Fabio Aurelio fit again after the international break.

Liverpool are next in action when Burnley go to Anfield on September 12 and the manager expects to have the Brazilian left-back back in his squad following the knee problem which has forced him to miss the start of the campaign.

“Fabio is back training and playing football,” Benitez said.

“After the end of the international break I don’t think he will have any problems and he will be able to be involved in normal training sessions and be in the squad.

“Daniel Agger is walking again after his back operation and Nabil El Zhar’s knee injury is also improving so that is very positive.”

Benitez is also happy with the progress Alberto Aquilani is making in his recovery from injury.

The Italian midfielder made the switch to Anfield in a £20million deal from Roma last month but has spent the past three weeks continuing his rehabilitation at Melwood following the ankle surgery he underwent in May.
