Robi could return

Interesting news in the M.E.N.:

Robinho played no part in Brazil's victories over England and Oman after Hughes insisted he wasn't fit.

But he is eager to get playing again after a frustrating lay-off lasting almost three months.

Hughes is understood to be reluctant to risk playing Robinho from the start against Liverpool.

He will keep a check on the playmaker's progress over the next 24 hours though before deciding whether he is worthy of a place on the bench.

I'm sure Bellamy will start on the left tomorrow (although I'm still hoping for a switch to 4-2-3-1), but Robinho off the bench is a great option to have. Certainly better than David N'Gog or Ryan Babel.
