Aurelio returns

The Brazilian defender is in a first team squad for the first time since rupturing his achilles tendon against PSV Eindhoven last April. John Arne Riise, Momo Sissoko and Harry Kewell are all out with minor injuries however.

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