Kewell up for the cup

The former Leeds winger has played through the pain-barrier in recent weeks and could yet pull out of next Wednesday's trip to Venezuela with Australia after star for the Reds in the FA Cup this weekend.

Houllier said: "You will find that Harry is having treatment most days, the ankle is sore but he will play. And if he does play then I will not stop him flying out to play for Australia in the week in South America, of course depending on what the doctor says."
