Le Tallec to return

Last updated : 20 January 2005 By Al Campbell
Les Verts took Le Tallec on loan at the start of the season when the Frenchman demanded first team football from Rafael Benitez and was told he would get no such guarentee.

Le Tallec has made only seven appearances for St Ettiene however, and he is unlikely to get many more after the signing of Sakho.

Le Tallec is expected to return to Liverpool before the end of the month and will immediately be loaned out again to an English club. Both Norwich and Crystal Palace have expressed an interest in the player.
