REDS DEPLETED FOR TYNESIDE TEST

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has to overcome another lengthy injury
list before deciding on his side to play at Newcastle in the Barclays
Premiership.

Djimi Traore (thigh) is out, while Jerzy Dudek (shin), Harry Kewell
(ankle) and Dietmar Hamann (shin) are all recovering from injuries
picked up in the Carling Cup Final. Neil Mellor (tendinitis) will be out
for the season, joining long term casualties Florent Sinama-Pongolle,
Djibril Cisse, Xabi Alonso and Chris Kirkland.

Josemi, fighting his way back from a knee injury, has had his return
held up for another fortnight after picking up another knee problem in a
midweek reserve game.

Newcastle full-back Celestine Babayaro has a slight knee problem and
will have a fitness test.

The Nigeria international is rated as doubtful, while midfielder Darren
Ambrose is out with a thigh strain.

However, Holland striker Patrick Kluivert returns following a hamstring
injury and will challenge Shola Ameobi for a place in the starting
line-up alongside Alan Shearer.
