Liverpool's Fabio Aurelio Back In Training
The full-back is still not fully fit but he has joined up with his team-mates on the training ground...

After all the defensive set-backs to Liverpool squad in recent times, the Reds finally have something to cheer about, as full-back Fabio Aurelio has resumed training at Melwood.

The former Valencia defender suffered a knee injury during the summer, which meant that he was unable to wear a red shirt for the start of the Merseyside club's 2009-10 campaign.

But manager Rafael Benitez has revealed that the 29-year-old is now back in training and is edging towards a return to the first team.

"Aurelio was training yesterday," Benitez revealed on the club's official website.

"I was watching him and he did well."

The manager confirmed that Aurelio is on a different training regime in order to ease his way into the rigours of first team football, but maintained that he is close to making a comeback for the Reds.

"He is not training with the team," the Spaniard stated.

"But he is working with the fitness coach and is very close. We will have to see if he has any other problems, but he is very close."

Great news... now we can see more of his wonderful free kick...

great to have the option but i'd love to see insua have a great august and september to make the position his own. that'd give rafa a good headache to deal with. i like insua so far.

yeah i watched him train the other day, my gf has a house overlooking melwood he looked okay on his own to feet he practised some shots with tiny goals they were going miles wide, just good to see him back on his feet i guess!

this will be a great addition if he returns, insua too inexperienced for now

i agree rafa - i like aurelio, he is a quality player but his injury problems mean it is time to get rid
