Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was pleased with Alberto Aquilani's debut in their Champions League defeat to Fiorentina.
The Spaniard attempted to take the positives from another setback against Fiorentina with the performance of Aquilani giving him the greatest satisfaction.
"Even though we lost, there were some good things to take into our next match. Alberto Aquilani and Fernando Torres both looked good, while Steven Gerrard is getting closer to full fitness," he said.
"Gerrard is getting more games under his belt, Torres looked very positive and Aquilani played well and showed quality with his passes.
"It was also good to see young Danny Pacheco getting some time on the pitch in the first team, he is a young player of real potential.
"Both Torres and Aquilani are fit and will train hard for the rest of the week and they will be ready for the Arsenal match."
