The Slovakian defender is in full training with the first team again after three months out with a knee ligament injury. Sammy Lee says Skrtel's return is a boost for the Reds.

"Martin is back training with us which is a great boost for us," said the assistant manager.

"He actually joined in the training session with us on Saturday and trained today.

"Everybody is so pleased to see him back on the pitch because he has worked ever so hard in his rehabilitation, and it's great to see him back.

"It's like signing a new player and he will be needed."
