Houllier praises Baros

Last updated : 02 April 2004 By Al Campbell
Baros had been on the bench in recent games before Michael Owen's injury due to a loss of form but Houllier now believes the striker is back to his best.

Houllier said: "We all gave Milan a round of applause when he returned to training because it is special to score a goal for your country. Didi Hamann scored as well for Germany.
 
"Milan is totally back now. He started well when he returned from injury then he had a bit of a dip but now he is back to his top level again."

With Michael Owen's fitness still in doubt Baros looks set to star against Blackburn on Sunday.
