AGGER TO GET MUCH NEED REST

Liverpool manager, Roy Hodgson has revealed that he intends to rest some of his World Cup stars like Daniel Agger. Liverpool's England contingent of Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Glen Johnson, Denmark's Daniel Agger and Slovakia's Martin Skrtel are all expected back at training over the coming days, while Argentina duo Javier Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez are due back by 26 July.

Agger backs Torres

LIVERPOOL defender Daniel Agger has heaped praise on Fernando Torres after the striker's two-goal salvo helped fire the club into the Europa League semi-finals.
The Spanish star lead the Reds to a 4-1 victory over Benifica last night and his brace saw him become the first player in the club's history to score twice in four consecutive Anfield matches.

The Anfield giants will now face Atletico Madrid in the last four of the competition in a match that sees Torres return to the club where he made his name.

DANIEL AGGER MAIN DOUBT FOR THE MATCH

In previous seasons Liverpool would have been too far behind at this stage for a top-four finish after losing seven Premier League matches. However, their ambitions have been kept alive by the ¬indifferent form of the teams around them and even at the top.

Manchester United have already lost more matches (five) this term than they did all last season and Chelsea have also racked up three defeats compared with five last time and Arsenal four compared with six in 2008-09.

DANIEL AGGER GROIN AGONY

Liverpool will be without Fernando Torres, Glen Johnson and Yossi Benayoun for tonight's clash with Tottenham in the Premiership.

Daniel Agger is again struggling with the groin problem but Alberto Aquilani and Albert Riera are both pushing for inclusion after being on the bench for the draw at Stoke last Saturday.

DANIEL AGGER TO BE REPLACED BY CITY DEFENDER?

Apparently it is very likely Man City will loan Onuoha to Liverpool but would accept around £6m for the 23 year old but what would the Eastlands back up defender really have to offer at Anfield?

With the likes of Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Jamie Carragher to call upon for centre back duty and the likes of impressive youngster Daniel Ayala coming through, why would Rafa Benitez make a move for the reasonably average former England Under 21 international?

AGGER OFF EARLY AS POOL LOSE
