Rafa Benitez spoke of his delight after Alberto Aquilani joined his teammates in full training for the first time since arriving from Roma in the summer.

The Italy international is hopeful of making his debut before the end of the month after stepping up his rehab this week - though Benitez is not putting a timescale on his return from an ankle injury.
 
"Aquilani has been training - he's had two sessions with the team," Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv. "Physically he can improve but at least now he can play football with the team. It's very positive.
 
"It depends how he progresses physically. In terms of the problem he had with his ankle, he has to keep training. We'll be away this weekend so he has time to improve.
 
"Hopefully in the next week he'll continue with the team, then it's a question of his match fitness, nothing else."
