Rafael Benitez's £17m signing will play his first game in a Reds shirt in tonight's pre-season friendly against St Gallen.

"We will try to use all the players. Our idea is to use one team in the first half and change it at half-time," said the boss.

"We have the video of their game against Basel and they were well organised - the manager knows what to do. The main thing for us is to get the match fitness - the result isn't too important even though we want to win every single game - but it will be interesting.

"The important thing is to see how the team is on the pitch and see the understanding between the players."
