Maxi Rodriguez is set to return to the Liverpool FC squad for Sunday's FA Cup fifth round tie with Brighton.

The Reds midfielder hasn't featured since the victory over Manchester United in the last round three weeks ago but has recovered from a foot injury he sustained in training.

Earlier this week Rodriguez was recalled to the Argentina squad to face Switzerland in a friendly later this month.

Boss Kenny Dalglish has no injury concerns ahead of the clash with Gus Poyet's Championship side.

Teenage full-backs Jon Flanagan and Jack Robinson are also back in contention having proved their fitness in the reserves.

"Maxi is back training," Dalglish said.

"He had a kick on his foot in training but he's fine now.

"He's back in the Argentina squad which is good for him.

"Everybody who is fit is in our thinking for Sunday, even Flanno and Jack Robbo. We have had to be careful with Flanno as he has had an injury but he is back in the frame."
