Jordan Henderson has welcomed Mario Balotelli to Liverpool.
Balotelli watched from the stands as the Reds were beaten 3-1 by his former club Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the Barclays Premier League on Monday night.
Henderson said: "I think everybody is looking forward to working with him.
"He is a very talented player and a very big player coming into the club. Hopefully he can give us a big lift and play some part in the next game.
"He was in the dressing room wishing everyone luck. It was good to see him. Hopefully he can get a good week's training under his belt and be ready for Sunday."
