Liverpool captain, 29-year-old, Steven Gerrard is looking forward to join his team in game against Fulham on Saturday. However, Rafael Benitez confirms that Steven Gerrard is not available for game against Arsenal on wednesday.

Liverpool boss Benitez told liverpool TV : “Gerrard will not be available for this game but he is improving, so hopefully he can be ready for Saturday.”

Steven Gerrard who is suffering from groin injury has already missed the game against Manchester United last week believes to be fully fitted for Premier league next round.

Boss Rafael Benitez has confirmed Alberto Aquilani will be in the Liverpool squad for Wednesday’s Carling Cup clash at Arsenal. It will be the Italian midfielder’s first appearance in the first team since his £20m summer move from Roma.

Benitez said: “He cannot start at this moment but he will be there and maybe we can give him some minutes. If it’s possible, we will try to use him.”

The Liverpool’s injury crisis seems to be getting over with further news that defenders Andrea Dossena and Sotirios Kyrgiakos could well play some part at the Emirates.

“Dossena has been training and will be in the squad. It was one or two small things with him. Kyrgiakos has been training too. We had bad news when everyone was talking about him being out for six months after the internationals. He’s training and he’s available.”
