But Baros' transfer away from Anfield seems now simply to be a question of when, rather than if.
Rafa Benitez said, "Baros is in the squad and at this moment he is our player. There has been rumours about his future and we have had some offers for him which have not been good enough in our opinion."
Antonio Barragan, a well regarded Spanish defender from Seville, will also travel with the squad. Bolo Zenden however, has been not included due to a thigh problem sustained recently.
