Benitez Hails Walking Wounded

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez hailed his walking wounded after a spirited display in the Merseyside derby.

Steven Gerrard played a full 90 minutes in the 2-0 victory despite being still way short of match fitness.

And Yossi Benayoun, Glen Johnson, Albert Riera, Daniel Agger, Fabio Aurelio and Gerrard are all still at various stages of recovery but featured in some part of the game.
