RAFA PREPARES FOWLER'S FUTURE

Robbie Fowler's future could be decided very shortly, with Rafa keen to make a decision on his Liverpool career before the season is up.

"Robbie is working every day with the physios and they are trying to get him fit," said Benitez.

"He will be much better after a whole pre-season, but maybe we can't wait until then to decide because he needs to know and we need to know.

"It will be good for him and us if the decision is made early.

"If we say 'No' then we need to look for another striker.

"We need to look at his situation carefully because if he is fit and scoring a lot of goals, the price of a player like him will be high, maybe £10 million."

Liverpool have also been linked with another old boy as they bid to solve their striking problems, although Benitez has brushed off reported interest in Michael Owen who insists he is happy at Newcastle.

"Have you not read what Michael has said about Newcastle" Benitez queried.
