Philipp Degen set to make comeback from injury in Liverpool Reserves' game against Hull City

PHILIPP Degen could make his latest comeback from injury in Liverpool Reserves' game at Hull City tonight.

The Swiss full back has been beset by a string of injury problems since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer last summer.

Degen has made just two first-team apperances for the Reds, both in the Carling Cup, and his last action came in the Reserves 2-2 draw with Manchester United Reserves last month, when he scored the opening goal before limping off with a groin strain.

Degen is named on the bench for tonight's game at North Ferriby.

Robbie Threlfall, Damien Plessis, Ryan Crowther, Andras Simon and Gary Mackay-Steven all come into the starting line-up as manager Gary Ablett makes changes following Monday's disappointing 4-3 defeat against Bolton at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Liverpool: Martin Hansen, Stephen Darby (Captain), Robbie Threlfall, Mikel San Jose Dominguez, Godwin Antwi, Damien Plessis, Ryan Crowther, Jay Spearing, Andras Simon, Gerardo Bruna, Gary Mackay-Steven. Subs: Krisztian Nemeth, Deale Chamberlain, Victor Palsson, Vitor Flora, Philipp Degen.
