Rafa Benitez has confirmed goalkeeper Jose Reina is fit for Wednesday's Champions League final against AC Milan in Athens.

Reina injured a shoulder at Fulham and was left out of the final home league game against Charlton as a precaution.

But the Spaniard has trained normally all week in La Manga and is available - as is back-up keeper Jerzy Dudek.

Milan defender Paolo Maldini has been bothered by a knee injury, but is set to start his eighth European Cup final.

Liverpool go into the game definitely without injured duo Luis Garcia and Fabio Aurelio, while Benitez is hopeful Mohamed Sissoko will be available.
