Alonso fit for derby



Midfielder Xabi Alonso has declared himself fit to feature in Liverpool's derby clash against Everton on Monday.

The 27-year-old Spain international needed seven stitches in a foot injury sustained during their FA Cup third-round victory over Preston.

Alonso told the club's official website: "Right now I am able to play with the inside of my foot but my instep will be OK for Monday."
