Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says new signings Andrea Dossena and Philipp Degen will feature in Saturday's friendly against Tranmere Rovers.
"But my idea is to use the senior players I have available and some of the younger players who have been working with us.
"We do not have the Spanish players because they won Euro 2008 and so will come back later.
"We need to check on Gerrard and we need to check on Voronin but the players who we have signed will be available and they will play."
