Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun has been ruled out of the Europa League trip to Lille on Thursday (6pm) after sustaining an ankle injury.

Benayoun suffered discomfort in the defeat by Wigan but has been ruled out after an assessment on the injury in France.

Centre-back Daniel Agger should be available having recovered from a sickness bug which reduced him to the role of unused substitute on Monday.

Team (from): Reina, Johnson, Degen, Agger, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Insua, Gerrard, Lucas, Aquilani, Benayoun, Riera, Ngog, Kuyt, Torres, Cavalieri, Pacheco, Spearing, Darby, Babel, Kelly.
