    Liverpool's Kewell set to resume training next week</p>

    LIVERPOOL, England (AFP) - Harry Kewell's latest injury nightmare appears to be nearing an end after it emerged that the Australian winger will resume training with his Liverpool club-mates next week.

    Kewell has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury while playing for his country in the Asian Cup in the summer.

    It was the latest in a series of injury setbacks for the former Leeds player, but manager Rafael Benitez believes the Australian is on the verge of returning to his first-team squad, and has insisted he has a future at the club.

    "Harry has been working really hard with the physios and next week he could be training or running with the rest of the first team," Benitez said.

    "Harry is very important for us. A player with pace and ability who can score goals is always going to be important.

    "It's clear he's someone with great quality and experience and we need these kind of players for the rest of the season."

    Despite Benitez's public expression of faith, it seems inevitable that, when he does come back, Kewell will be playing for his future at the club following the summer acquisition of Ryan Babel and Yossi Benayoun, who both operate in wide midfield roles.

    Benitez is meanwhile keeping his fingers crossed that Fernando Torres does not aggravate an ankle injury when he plays for Spain this weekend.

    The Liverpool striker was restricted to just a light training session with his international team-mates earlier in the week, but he is expected to figure in Spain's crucial clash with Denmark on Saturday.

    Benitez, who wants the player fit for the Merseyside derby at Everton on October 27, admitted: "It is a risk but I know he wants to play because they have such an important game for Spain."</p>

    <font face="Arial">Benayoun, good yes but more of a central attacking midfielder than a winger.</font></p>
