New Red Joe Cole will make his Anfield debut tonight in the Europa League second leg match against FK Rabotnicki after boss Roy Hodgson confirmed that several first choice players would be available for the fixture.
Speaking to the official Liverpool website, he said: “We can play a stronger team this team and Cole, Gerrard, Carragher, Johnson and Jovanovic will all start the game,”
“A week ago they were definitely not fit and couldn’t play but now they are ready.
“We have a lot of players like Cole and Jovanovic who are anxious to show the fans what they are made of and it’s a great opportunity for them.
“We also have Pacheco back after a very successful tournament with Spain and he is desperate to show us what a good player he is.
“Agger is injured so won’t take part and the other World Cup players who are have only just returned to training won’t play.”
