Agger reassured by Reds boss
Rafael Benitez insists Daniel Agger is a big part of his plans at Liverpool, even though the Dane has only made 10 league starts this season. The 24-year-old centre-back has been persistently linked with a move away Anfield, with AC Milan understood to be monitoring prolonged contract negotiations.
Agger - whose season has been hit by injury - has yet to put pen-to-paper on a long-term deal as he is not guaranteed a place in the starting XI after apparently falling behind Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel and Sami Hyypia in the pecking order. However, Benitez has implied that the Denmark international could regain a regular place in his plans if he remains on Merseyside. The Liverpool boss said in the Mail on Sunday: "Agger knows what I think of him. "If he stays fit, he will have as good a chance of playing as anyone else, maybe more. "
