Rafael Benitez has told Anthony Le Tallec to make the most of his return to Anfield following an unsuccessful loan spell in France.
Le Tallec has completed the formalities of his return to Merseyside after cutting short his time with St Etienne and is now available to help the Reds over the remainder of the campaign.

rafa est satisfait qu'anthony loan tallec soit de retour.
Le Tallec will wear number 13 at Anfield and will play for the reserves against Aston Villa this weekend.
Benitez said: "We have worked with and talked to St Etienne about bringing Le Tallec back because he is a player I like. He is very good and very skilful.
"Le Tallec wanted to come back and we've been thinking about it for some time. We think it's better for him to be here now. With Flo injured, it makes it even more important for him to return, but we were thinking about this even before he was injured.
"Le Tallec wants to work hard for us, whether he's in the first team or reserves. We don't have a lot of strikers fit so he will have a chance.
"He will get opportunities to play games, for sure. He is another face in the squad and he will give us more possibilities."
