Rodgers says Sahin can make Liverpool debut against Arsenal

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits Nuri Sahin could make his debut today against Arsenal.

The Turkey international signed for the Reds on a year-long loan deal last Saturday but was unable to play any part in the subsequent fixtures against Manchester City and Hearts.

But asked whether the 23-year-old will feature in his plans for tomorrow's clash against the Gunners, Rodgers told Liverpoolfc.com: "Yes. Nuri has come here determined to be a success and that's the type of player that we want.

"You see him in training and he's got good technique. He understands the game and he plays with a smile on his face.

"He's got a wonderful left foot. He's a good guy and he is very intelligent off the field. He speaks five languages and so his ability to communicate is very good.

"He doesn't waste his time doing other things. He's 23 years of age - his family and his football are his life."
