The Finn had to withdraw after only fifteen minutes against Sunderland on Saturday after breaking his nose. However, he has been passed fit for tonight's Champions League qualifier.

"I think he will be okay. The break was in the right place and so I don't think it will be a problem for him," said Rafa Benitez.

"We have Sami and Daniel Agger available and we can also use Arbeloa as a centre back so we have enough players in that position."
