The Danish centre-back has recovered from a metatarsel injury in September and played 45 minutes of the game against Manchester United reserves.

"It was good for Agger to get some minutes on the pitch and we decided before the game that he would play the first half and Skrtel would play the second," said Benitez. "Agger did well and now we will have to see how he is today.

"When you have been out for a long time you have to be careful and you cannot rush back because if you come back too early you can have some problems, but Agger did well and it was good to see him back playing football again."
