"I don't know whether he will need extra training, but maybe that is not important. We have a lot of injuries and he is at least fit," said Rafael Benitez in his pre-match press conference.
"We will say to him, 'come on, you are fit and you can help us.' He could probably play straight away because he must be desperate to get back on the pitch.
"I will see how he trains, but also the other strikers and how they are."
