Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is confident Javier Mascherano will be available for Champions League action this week.
Mascherano has been given the all-clear to play in Europe on Wednesday, despite an injury scare that delayed his return from Argentina at the weekend.
"He went to South America with a slight problem, and played the game. Afterwards he needed to check it out, so we decided he should do it over there, and miss our game at the weekend," Benitez explained.
"But it is not serious, it is only a minor thing and he will be fit to play in the Champions League this week."
