Cole in 19-man Euro squad

1st Dec 2010 - Latest News

Joe Cole will be among the Liverpool squad which jets off to Romania today for Liverpool's Europa League Group K clash against Steaua Bucharest.

The England international hasn't played since he injured his hamstring during the 1-0 win at Bolton Wanderers on October 31.

Roy Hodgson is taking a 19-man squad to Romania, with Martin Skrtel in contention to make his 100th appearance for the Reds against Steaua.

However, Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt, Raul Meireles, Glen Johnson and Paul Konchesky will be rested and remain behind at Melwood.

Daniel Pacheco returns to the squad, while reserves right-back John Flanagan is in the first-team set-up for the first time.

Liverpool's youngest ever player Jack Robinson also makes the party.

Liverpool squad: Pepe Reina, Brad Jones, Martin Hansen, Fabio Aurelio, Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic, Sotirios Kyrgiakos, Ryan Babel, Lucas, Danny Wilson, Christian Poulsen, Jonjo Shelvey, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Pacheco, David Ngog, Martin Kelly, Nathan Eccleston, John Flanagan, Jack Robinson.
