Kewell to make return

Harry Kewell is set to make his belated seasonal return for Liverpool's first team in Wednesday's League Cup clash with Cardiff.
The Australian winger has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury while playing for his country in the Asian Cup in the summer.
But he made a goal scoring return to action for the reserves at the weekend and now looks set to start his campaign to prove he has a future on Merseyside following the summer acquisition of Dutch winger Ryan Babel and Israeli playmaker Yossi Benayoun, both players who offer Liverpool the kind of creative spark that Kewell provides.
Liverpool are expected to rest a string of first-choice players, including goalkeeper Jose Reina, who has branded the injury crisis threatening to overwhelm the club's season as a "pain in the backside."
The Reds number one was dismayed to see his fellow Spaniards Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres sidelined after suffering recurrences of existing injuries in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal, and admits the setbacks could hardly have come at a worse time.
Liverpool must beat Besiktas at Anfield next week to survive in the Champions League and they cannot afford to lose any more ground to Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League title race.
"The injuries are a big problem," Reina admitted ahead of the visit of Cardiff, who will have former Anfield favourite Robbie Fowler at the head of their forward line.
"We have had far too many in the last few months. Now we have another injury to Fernando and another to Xabi - it's a pain in the backside.
"When important players are recovering and coming back into the side and then they get injured again, it is always difficult."
Liverpool are still waiting to hear how long they will be without midfielder Alonso, who has suffered a metatarsal fracture, while Torres is expected to be sidelined for three weeks with a torn adductor muscle.
The only consolation for under-pressure Reds boss Rafael Benitez was that the foot injury suffered by Javier Mascherano on Sunday was not as serious as first feared, the Argentinian having suffered only bruising rather than a fracture.
Benitez however is already being forced to do without winger Jermaine Pennant, who is out until next year with a stress fracture of the shin, and first-choice centre-back Daniel Agger, who is still recovering from his own broken metatarsal.
The loss of Torres is probably the biggest blow to Benitez. The Spaniard had to be withdrawn at half-time on Sunday and Liverpool's cutting edge was significantly reduced as a result.
Peter Crouch is expected to make only his sixth start of the season on Wednesday and the England striker admits he is desperate to make an impact.
"I was pleased to get on against Arsenal, even though it wasn't in the circumstances I would have liked with Fernando getting injured," he said. "You always want your best players on the pitch and hopefully he won't be out for too long.
"From my point of view I haven't had too many chances this season and so I have to take them when they come along. It's going to be a long season, we have a big squad and everybody will get games at some point. I just know that whenever I play I have to perform.
"Players are greedy and they want to play every week but it's not possible. We know there could be anything up to 70 matches this season and we understand what the manager is trying to do."
