Xabi Alonso could return for Liverpool for the final month of the season according to Rafa Benitez.

Alonso was thought to be out for the season after breaking his ankle against Chelsea on New Years' Day, but the news is now much brighter.

Benitez says that the skilful midfielder could be back to play a part in the final month of The Reds' campaign.
"He is a lot better now and he could be back for the last month," said Benitez.

"He has been away working and recovering in Spain but he is back with us now and I am pleased with his progress."
