Benitez - Dane can boost title challenge

Rafa Benitez is glad to welcome Daniel Agger back into his squad after making just two starts this year.

The Dane who came through 15 minutes of action against Aston Villa in the Reds last fixture is once again fully fit and part of the plans at Anfield.

The clubs website speaks to Rafa Benitez as he talks about Agger and the the part he'll play as the season comes to an end.

"It is always a boost when you have good players coming back into the squad after injury, especially at this time of year because it is the most important part of the season," said the Anfield boss.

"If they are fit they can help the team with the quality they have.

"Agger showed when he came on against Aston Villa that he is no longer injured and he also showed that he can play really well with the ball, bringing it out from the back.

"So it will be good for us to have him available again, particularly as we have been without him on several occasions.

"Hopefully now he will be really fresh and ready to play his part because everyone knows that he is an important player for us."
