LIVERPOOL v Stoke: Great Dane Daniel Agger still on the sidelines at Anfield
Liverpool have confirmed they will be without defender Daniel Agger for three more weeks as he recovers from a back injury.
The Danish centre-back (right) misses Wednesday's home Barclays Premier League clash with Stoke, while fellow defender Martin Skrtel is still doubtful following the damaged jaw he sustained in the defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.
Skrtel trained on Tuesday, but boss Rafa Benitez will make a late decision on whether the 24-year-old can be risked.
Youngster Daniel Ayala could play alongside Jamie Carragher, who has recovered from the head injury he suffered at Spurs.
Provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Ayala, Dossena, Insua, Kuyt, Voronin, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Babel, Benayoun, Torres, Cavalieri, Spearing, Kelly, Ngog, Plessis, Degen, Riera.
