Smicer stays

Liverpool defender Stephane Henchoz has left for Valencia with the rest of the squad in the hope that he will shake off his calf strain in time for tomorrow's game.

"He's got a chance although I'm not saying he will play," said Houllier. "We will assess his situation tomorrow. Obviously we will know a bit more tonight after training."

Team-mate Vladimir Smicer stays behind due to his broken toe.
