Duo back to boost Reds

11th Feb 2010 - Latest News

Liverpool have been boosted by the return of both Glen Johnson and Ryan Babel to the squad for this weekend's trip to Portsmouth.

Babel has been sidelined with an ankle injury sustained against Manchester City last month while Johnson missed the midweek victory over Wigan with a minor knock.

Both players have passed fitness tests in time to take their place in the squad for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off at Fratton Park.

Albert Riera, Martin Kelly and Nabil El Zhar will remain on Merseyside, however, to continue their rehabilitation from recent injury problems.
