KEWELL RETURNS FOR RESERVES
Steve Hunter 25 October 2007

Harry Kewell will make his return from injury in Liverpool Reserves encounter with Newcastle United at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington tonight - a match you can watch live on LFC TV.

The Reds number seven hasn't kicked a ball since he played against Feyenoord in the Port of Rotterdam tournament in pre-season, and he will play up front for Gary Ablett's side tonight in the game which kicks-off at 7pm.
 
Sebastian Leto also starts for the Reds while Stephen Darby will captain the team because Jack Hobbs was on first team duty in Istanbul.
 
You can watch Kewell's comeback for the reserves on LFC TV's live coverage from 6.45pm.
 
In the build-up to the game join Liverpool FC TV's Matt Critchley who will be joined live in the studios by former reserve player John Durnin. We'll also catch up with the views of youngster Stephen Darby in an exclusive interview from Melwood.
 
LFC TV is available on SKY channel 448. Virgin channel 544 or via the official website's e-Season Ticket. Please note we are running a 'free night' on LFC TV tonight so you don't have to own the Setanta package to enjoy our coverage.

Good call - and good reminder to everyone about LFC.TV being free tonight.

Should we read anything in to Hobbs not playing? Lined up for the weekend?

More importantly are we running a book on what time Kewell will get stretchered off?

I'll have the 30-39 minutes slot please.

That's more than a bit harsh

but ill have 10-19 mins like in Istanbul relive the spirit

Am I the only person that can't see Kewell ever being fit enough to contibute to the team in any way, ever again? It seems that his old injuries are always being aggravated or he manages to collect new ones. Kewell is all about running, sprinting, twisting and turning and unless he gives up all of this (ie stop playing) he will not be able to stay fit for any meaningful length of time.

...such a tease!...

Does anyone here think that Kewell can seriously help us win the title this year. If he's match fit I would say yes but how long will that take and how long will it take for Benitez to give him a start

No you're not. Scouser10 will probably be putting him in charge of team fitness though.

His wife.

His wife.

Yes but does anyone apart from his close family and friends believe that? Do u believe he cn

And Harry's on the scoresheet

1-0 Harry Kewell header! He's actually playing up front. Jack Hobbs isn't playing because he was with the 1st team in Istanbul last night, but I think he deserves a chance in the first team this season. I'm not to sure about putting him in against Arsenal though!

What a great news!!!
work hard Harry

And Harry's on the scoresheet

Good time for my e-season ticket to expire...

Its 2-1 to the reds nearly finished. Apparently Kewell played 45 minutes.

Thanks Paul. 45 mins is a good start...at least for Kewell!

He never came out for the second half, the commentator said he looked to have taken a slight knock!

Well done Harry u shoved my words right back down my throat. Keep it up

You watch, we'll see him in the first team now on Sunday!!

yeh, i hope you are the only one to think that. now he should have a confidence boost and thats the time to get behind him and not slagg him.
too much bitches and moans come out of this forum lately.

Played well tonight Kewell. Fair do's, it was a reserve game so he had a chance to exploit some space. But he showed that natural instinct to turn a player and have a go at goal. He took a knock about ten minutes before half time, but he was fine after it. I can imagine he was only penciled in to play 45 mins anyway. Took his headered goal well from Letos good corner. Kewell scoring a header and us scoring from a corner?!!! Weird....

thats more like it, some positive support from someone, yay! you get an extra + for that redkenny

Watched the ressies last night...

Both Kewell and Leto had decent first halves. Kewell looks fit, but did he take another knock last night?

Pacheco looks the biz too...

Still not 100% on Insua.

Just to clarify I am not bitching, moaning or slagging Harry. I'm just concerned about his future at he club as a consequence of his injuries. I would love to see him back in the first team and playing every other week.
