Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has revealed that Javier Mascherano could be fit for Sunday's Premier League visit to Chelsea.

A hamstring problem kept the Argentine international out of Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina in the Champions League.

"Javier trained today so hopefully he will be fit for Sunday," Benitez informed his club's official website.

"For us he is a key player. He is a very good worker in the middle and he can keep the balance of the team."

Another player who could feature is defender Daniel Agger, who played 68 minutes of a reserves game this week.

"Daniel trained today. I watched the DVD of the reserve game and he did well," Benitez added.

"Maybe he will have a chance for Sunday – we will see.

"He is a player who can defend really well but he also has quality in possession. It will be good to have him back."
