Fernando Morientes will miss Wednesday's clash with Chelsea because of a hamstring injury

Liverpool will be without two of their recruits from La Liga when they face Chelsea in their Champions League group G match at Anfield tomorrow night.

Striker Fernando Morientes has failed in his bid to shake off a hamstring injury to face the English champions, while midfielder Mohamed Sissoko is out with a groin problem.

But boss Rafael Benitez reports no other injury problems as he bids to mastermind a repeat of last season's memorable Champions League semi-final triumph over the Barclays Premiership champions.

Provisional squad: Reina, Finnan, Josemi, Carragher, Hyypia, Warnock, Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Hamann, Alonso, Riise, Traore, Carson, Zenden, Cisse, Crouch, Sinama-Pongolle, Barragan, Potter.
