PLAYERS RETURN TO MELWOOD
Jimmy Rice 30 June 2008
Eighteen members of Rafa Benitez's squad are back at Melwood today after their summer break.
Non-internationals such as Jamie Carragher, Steve Finnan and Sami Hyypia return today, though those who played for their country earlier in the summer will be given an extra week.

Spain heroes Fernando Torres, Alvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso and Pepe Reina will not return to training for another three weeks after leading their country to a first major honour since 1964.

Benitez said: "We have about 18 back today, then some of the internationals will be back in the next week. The four Spanish players should be back in three weeks."

Hope this is true.

The confidence of the spanish players, especially Torres and Alonso must be sky high.

I do think Barry is a good player, but I still can't see him coming in, in place of Xabi, as a step forward.
