Rafael Benitez is confident Jamie Carragher will be fit for next Sunday's Barclays Premier League opener with Spurs.
The Reds defender limped off after just 15 minutes of the pre-season clash with Atletico Madrid, but the boss revealed his decision to replace his vice-captain was purely precautionary.

"He's okay," Benitez told his post-match press conference.

"He twisted his ankle and it was just a precaution to bring him off because we have had problems with the other centre backs and we wanted to protect him."

Asked if it was a concern with Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger already out injured, Benitez added: "We will have to wait now, the three players are injured, but improving so I think they will be fit for the next game."

Rafa also said Aurelio wasn't that injured a month ago... and he was.

Managed to watch the replay.

Torres should have scored at least once out of the 3 or 4 clear chances he had.

We should have 2 penalties, at least.

We dominated. They scored 2 out of the very few shots at goal.

How did Ngog mis kicked that ball that went 90 degree to the intended destination?

All in all, not a panic station situation, I think.

Our newbie and squad such as GJ, Insua, Lucas, Babel, Kelly, Spearing are looking good.
