Liverpool - Captain Steven Gerrard was named in Liverpool's squad for their Champions League trip to Real Madrid after missing almost three weeks with a hamstring injury.
The inspirational midfielder tore a hamstring in his left leg in his side's FA Cup fourth-round defeat by city rivals Everton on February 4 and had been a doubt for Wednesday's last-16 first-leg encounter with the Spanish champions.
"Steven will be in the squad. He was okay in training this morning," Benitez said on Monday.
"It was a special training session so we were not testing him one hundred percent, but he trained okay so we will see."
