CROUCH SET FOR ARSENAL RETURN
Paul Eaton 24 March 2007
Rafael Benitez expects Peter Crouch to be available for next weekend's crunch Anfield clash with Arsenal.
Crouch underwent nose surgery last week and was forced to sit out the goalless draw at Aston Villa as well as England's double header with Israel and Andorra.
The Liverpool striker is now back training at Melwood and is on course for a first team return when third meets fourth at Anfield next Saturday lunchtime.
"He is able to train with the ball, but we're keeping him away from any physical contact," said the Liverpool boss.
"I think he should be okay by next week, but we'll see how quickly the nose heals. We don't think it will be a big problem."
