BOSS: HARRY HAS FINAL CHANCE
-
Rafa Benitez believes Harry Kewell may be able to take part in the Champions League final in Athens later this month.
The winger, who has been out since last summer's World Cup, made his comeback as a substitute against Fulham on Saturday.
With just one fixture to play before the final on May 23, time is short for the Australian to get fully match fit.
But Benitez insists there is a chance: "It was positive to see Harry again. Maybe he will have a chance for the final. We will have time for testing him.
"We need to test him because right now you could say physically that he is fit but really you need to play, you need to tackle, and to sprint."
Meanwhile, Steve Finnan believes the return of Kewell has given the Reds a timely boost ahead of their date with AC Milan.
"I don't know whether Harry expected to play again this season but it is good that he came on and managed to get some minutes," he said. "It's great because he's been out a long time, so it is like having a new player. He might play his part in the final.
"It has been a difficult season for him with operations, so I just think he has been trying to recover.
"Probably the main objective for him is to get ready for pre-season and if he can play a few games then all well and good.
"He gives us a balance on the left-hand side and gives us competition. He can also play on the right and up front." -
