Fabio Aurelio will make a return to the Liverpool squad for tomorrow night's clash against Porto, but John Arne Riise has been ruled out with a groin injury.
Aurelio has been sidelined since April after rupturing his achilles tendon against PSV Eindhoven in last season's Champions League quarter final.

He made his comeback in a reserve friendly against Crewe in midweek and has been included in the travelling squad which will head to Portugal later this morning.

"Fabio is back which is good news for us," said manager Rafael Benitez. "He has worked hard to recover from his injury and could be a useful asset for us."

Benitez also revealed that John Arne Riise is still struggling with the groin injury he picked up on international duty last week and won't be involved in tomorrow night's game.

Momo Sissoko and Harry Kewell will also miss the trip.
