Kenny on injuries and Stoke's style
Kenny Dalglish will assess the fitness of Craig Bellamy ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against a Stoke side whose style of play he believes is wrongly criticised.
Bellamy joined Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger and Jack Robinson in the treatment room this week.
Dalglish told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Glen has got a niggle, Bellers had a niggle the other night. We'll wait and see.
"Daniel is not available while his rib heals. Fabio Aurelio is back training and Jack Robbo will be back training on Monday."
Liverpool will face Stoke for the fourth time this season, with the previous encounters producing a win, a loss and a draw.
Dalglish knows exactly what to expect.
"We know it's going to be difficult, we know they're going to be very well organised and we know they're going to be a threat at set plays," he said.
"In some quarters Tony Pulis's team are criticised for the way they play but they won't get any criticism from us. They play the way that's best suited to them, they play within the rules and they're a credit to that football club.
"What they've done has been fantastic. They've had a fantastic season.
"They got to the final of the FA Cup last year, they qualified for the Europa League and have had a fantastic run in that before being put out by Valencia. They played very well and were unfortunate to get knocked out."
The team that prevails on Sunday will visit Wembley for the semi-finals.
It would be Liverpool's second trip there this season following the Carling Cup win over Cardiff City, after which the players and staff were filmed celebrating in the dressing room.
Dalglish added: "Stoke have been to Wembley too, they've tasted it before and they know what the rewards are and how much they enjoyed it, although they lost the final.
"We've been to Wembley as well, we enjoyed it and we want to go back. We've been, we've tasted it.
"But every one of the eight teams have the same incentive - to get to Wembley. Whether you've been before and want to go back or you've never been and have got the hunger to get there, it doesn't make any difference."
