BABEL JOINS REDS' WOUNDED

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will give a late check to Daniel Agger ahead of the must-win Champions League clash against Debrecen on Tuesday.

Agger needed five stitches in a head wound after a clash with Manchester City's Kolo Toure on Saturday while Ryan Babel has failed to make the trip.

Babel twisted his ankle in the 2-2 draw at Anfield, but Steven Gerrard should start in Hungary despite suffering from cramp in the latter stages of the clash with City.

Glen Johnson will be considered if he passes a check on his calf but Fernando Torres (groin) has not travelled.

"We thought it'd be two or three weeks and he's only 12 or 13 days into that, so there's no point in him going," Benitez commented on Torres' injury.

Debrecen are expected to be unchanged with striker Robert Feczesin their only real injury absentee as he remains out with a knee problem.
