New boys in Liverpool squad

11 September 2010 14:00
New Liverpool signings Paul Konchesky and Raul Meireles are set to make their first appearances in the squad for the Barclays Premier League clash at Birmingham. Left-back Konchesky is likely to start, having had over a week to settle in after completing his transfer deadline day move from Fulham, but Meireles may have to settle for a place on the bench having been away with Portugal. Forward Dirk Kuyt is out with a shoulder injury sustained while away with Holland while Joe Cole serves the final game of his three-match suspension. Striker David Ngog has recovered from hamstring injury but defender Fabio Aurelio still has a niggling Achilles tendon problem.
