"We have some good options now," said Benitez.
"We have Skrtel and Mascherano, who have been much better in the last few games. Agger is fit again and Torres is coming back too.
"These are good options for us because they are good players who can play at a very good level and if they are fit we will have a strong squad for the rest of the season.
"Skrtel was a very nice surprise for us because in only his second game back against Everton he was playing at the same level as he was before. They are all positive additions for us."
