Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admits he is struggling to find a replacement for injured right-back Glen Johnson.

The Spaniard is keen to bring in a player who can hold down the position while the former Portsmouth man recovers from medial ligament damage but insist it will not be just anybody.

"We have to be careful with what we do," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.

"There are not too many good players around who are available and we will think about it.

"We still have some time but we will not rush if we cannot find the right player for this position."
