Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson says he's ready to play Javier Mascherano in the Europa League.
No offers have come in for the Argie and Hodgson will have no qualms Cup-tying him from European football.
Asked whether he would consider playing Mascherano in Thursday's Europa League tie with Trabzonspor at Anfield, Hodgson said: "Of course I would play him on Thursday.
"He picked up an injury today, unfortunately. I hope it's not too serious but he's got a slight tightness in his muscle, which is why he had to come off. We hope it's not a pull but it will have to be assessed tomorrow. But why wouldn't I play him?
"He is a Liverpool player and I hope he will continue to be a Liverpool player. For me, he will always be available for selection until the day comes when he's no longer here."
