Rafa has faith in his squad

Liverpool will be without both Carragher and Riise for tonight's Champions League qualifier against Maccabi Haifa after they picked up injuries against Sheffield United on Saturday. However, Rafa Benitez has faith in the strength of his squad and says the players that will replace them will do an excellent job.

"We know how important this game is financially, for our confidence, for the club and for the fans," said the Liverpool boss.

"We have a couple of injured players but, as I've said before, we have a better squad this season and we can manage. Daniel Agger has done very well in the games he has played this season. I signed him because I knew he was a good player and I have every confidence in him."
