Dudek hoping to be on the Polish bench

The Liverpool keeper has recovered from an elbow injury, but has yet to play for Liverpool this season, with Jose Reina clearly first choice between the sticks.

He remains first choice keeper for his country, but accepts that Celtic's Artur Boruc will get the nod next week.

"In my opinion it will be Artur Boruc who starts," said Dudek "Liverpool didn't want to release me after such a serious injury.

"I promised that I would be reasonable, but if Janas says 'Jerzy, you're number one, you have to play', then I won't refuse."
